Home | AMC-9

Continuing SES AMERICOM's tradition of operating extremely flexible and dependable spacecraft, AMC-9 was launched in June of 2003 and provides both C- and Ku-band services from the eastern part of the U.S. orbital arc. Television programmers, government agencies and enterprise networks are the beneficiaries of the spacecraft's increased power levels, expanded coverage areas, and AMERICOM's typically high levels of redundancy.
