Echostar 105, also known as SES-11, is a partnership between Echostar and SES for a communications satellite at the orbital position of 105 degrees West. Satellite's Ku-band and C-band capacity will allow it to replace the AMC-15 and AMC-18 satellites. Echostar 105 is to provide coverage of the North America, including Hawaii, Mexico, the Caribbean.
The Full Thrust variants first stage includes all systems necessary for an operational re-use of stages while the second stage is operated as an expendable rocket stage.
See DetailsThe first stage of the Falcon 9 landed on the ASDS, OCISLY, stationed of the east coast.
