Astra satellites
Astra satellites are a family of communication satellites operated by SES, primarily used to deliver television, internet, and data services across Europe, Africa, and other regions. They orbit high above the Earth, typically at geostationary positions, meaning they stay fixed over one spot. This allows them to provide reliable, continuous signals for broadcast and communication systems. Astra satellites are known for their high capacity and coverage, enabling millions of households and businesses to access a wide range of digital services. They play a key role in modern telecommunications by ensuring stable, widespread connectivity.
