The Ekspress-2000 platform can generate up to 14 kW of power on an unpressurized bus designed for direct GEO injection with 15 years of design life. Its payload will be supplied by Thales Alenia Space and is composed of 18 C band, 19 Ku band and 26 Ka band transponders for a 36 MHz equivalent of 52 transponders. It will replace Yamal 202 on 49°E.
