Low Earth Orbit #NG11Arabsat-6A is a Saudi Arabian communications satellite to be positioned at 30.5°East orbital slot. Arabsat-6A was built by Lockheed Martin for Arabsat and will deliver TV, internet and mobile phone services to the Middle East, Africa and Europe.
Supersynchronous Transfer Orbit #ArabSat6A B1055 - Maiden Flight Of Course I Still Love You B1053 - Maiden Flight Landing Zone 2 B1052 - Maiden Flight Landing Zone 1The main payload is an electronic intelligence satellite EMISAT for India's Defence Research and Development Organization. This launch will also be the first flight of PSLV-QL, which is a version of PSLV rocket with four strap-on boosters. The fourth stage of the rocket will serve as an experimental platform for in-orbit experiments and will carry a small payload developed by Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology. The stage is equipped with solar panels and is expected to remain active for at least six months.
