~ Maxar Space Systems, based in Palo Alto, California, has successfully handed over operations of the largest commercial communications satellite ever manufactured in their facility, the JUPITER™ 3 satellite, to EchoStar.
The satellite includes 14 solar panels on board that when fully deployed could span a 10-story building. It was launched on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
Chris Johnson, Maxar Space Systems CEO said "JUPITER 3 demonstrates that the Maxar 1300™ platform is the ideal platform to support any variety of high-bandwidth communications missions, including deep space missions like NASA's PPE program, which is part of Gateway."

JUPITER 3 is an ultra-high-density satellite that will join the Hughes JUPITER fleet, which includes two other Maxar-built spacecraft. This newest spacecraft takes a significant leap forward in satellite engineering with its incorporation of industry-leading Q- and V-band gateway feeder links and miniaturized solid-state electronics. The sheer scale of JUPITER 3 with its 9 metric ton launch mass and 14 expansive solar panels dwarfs conventional satellite dimensions.
Maxar Space Systems has pushed the boundaries for what is possible in space technology with this pioneering spirit and cutting edge advancements in communication satellite design and functionality.
