ASTRA 2G carries 62 Ku-band transponders as well as 4 Ka-band transponders. The different beams provide wide coverage over the UK and Ireland, Europe and West Africa. The ASTRA 2G satellite will also support SATMED, an e-health platform conceived by SES and supported by the Luxembourg Government and the Ministry for Cooperation and Humanitarian Action is a satellite based communication solution aimed to improve public health in emerging and developing countries. Satellite Statistics: __62 Ku-band transponders __4 Ka-band transponders, including 1 interconnect __Planned orbital location: 28.2/28.5 degrees East longitude __Anticipated service life: 15 years Mission Profile: The Proton M launch vehicle, utilizing a 5-burn Breeze M mission design, will lift off from Pad 39 at Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan, with the ASTRA 2G satellite on board.

Separation of the ASTRA 2G satellite is scheduled to occur approximately 9 hours, 12 minutes after liftoff. Target Orbit Perigee: 4,163 km at Separation: Apogee: 35,736 km Inclination: 23.0 degrees Spacecraft Separation: Approximately 9 hours, 12 minutes after liftoff ILS Mission Statistics: _7th Proton launch in 2014 _2nd ILS Proton launch in 2014 _86th ILS Proton Launch Overall _24th SES Satellite Launched on ILS Proton _18th Airbus Defence and Space Satellite Launched on ILS Proton Live Broadcast: The live launch broadcast will begin approximately 20 minutes before lift-off.
