Atlas V 551 | AEHF-5 (USA 292)
United Launch Alliance | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA
Aug. 8, 2019, 10:13 a.m.
Status: Launch Successful
Mission:
This is the fifth satellite in the Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF) system, which is a series of communications satellites operated by the United States Air Force Space Command. It provides global, survivable, protected communications capabilities for strategic command and tactical warfighters operating on ground, sea and air platforms.

SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA
Aug. 6, 2019, 11:23 p.m.
Status: Launch Successful
Mission:
Amos-17 is a multi-band high-throughput satellite which will operate from 17°E, offering Ka-band, Ku-band, and C-Band services to users in Africa, the Middle East and Europe.
Geostationary Transfer Orbit #AMOS17 B1047 - Flight Proven ( ) Atlantic Ocean
Ariane 5 ECA+ | Intelsat 39 & EDRS-C/HYLAS 3
ArianeGroup | FranceGuiana Space Centre, French Guiana
Aug. 6, 2019, 7:30 p.m.
Status: Launch Successful
Mission:
EDRS-C is one of the two EDRS (European Data Relay System) satellites. EDRS is the European constellation of two geostationary data relay satellites that will relay information and data between satellites, spacecraft, unmanned aerial vehicles, and ground stations. Broadband communications payload called HYLAS 3 is placed on EDRS-C satellite, and is to complement HYLAS 1 and HYLAS 2 satellites already in orbit.

Progress Rocket Space Center | RussiaPlesetsk Cosmodrome, Russian Federation
July 30, 2019, 5:57 a.m.
Status: Launch Successful
Mission:
The Meridian series of communications satellites is reported to be the replacement for all the Molniya-1T, the Molniya-3 and Molniya-3K satellite series and possibly also for the communication component of the Parus. They are launched into highly eccentric Molniya-orbits. Meridian is the highly eccentric orbit (HEO) component of the Integrated Satellite Communications System (ISSS), where they work in conjunction with the geostationary Raduga-1M (Globus-M) satellites. The bus structure is reportedly pressurized, possibly based on the Uragan-M bus. Meridian satellites carry three transponders operating in different frequency bands.
