AMOS ("Affordable Modular Optimized Satellite") is a series of Israeli communications satellites operated by Israel-based Spacecom.All AMOS satellites were developed by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) using the AMOS bus satellite bus, except for AMOS-5 which was developed by ISS Reshetnev using the Ekspress bus satellite bus, and AMOS-17 which was developed by Boeing on its BSS-702.
AsiaSat 8 was built by Space Systems/Loral, and is based on the LS-1300 satellite bus. [1] [2] The satellite carries twenty-four Ku-band transponders and one Ka-band payload, and was planned to be initially positioned above the equator, [3] at a longitude of 105.5° East, [4] providing coverage of southern and south-eastern Asia, China and the Middle East.
The AMOS bus is a lightweight version used for satellites between 1.5 and 2 t (1.7 and 2.2 tons), with 800 to 1700 watts of power. [3] [4] [5] The satellite bus started with the AMOS-1, the smallest of all the family, and increased mass, payload successively in the AMOS-2 and AMOS-3.
AMOS-2 (4° West) AMOS-5 (17° East) – Israeli satellite launched from Kazakhstan in 2011 by Russia's Proton-M launch vehicle to provide services to customers in Africa.
