EchoStar XIV is an American geostationary
EchoStar XIV was built by
LS-1300 satellite bus. It is equipped with 103 J band (IEEE Ku band) transponders,[4] and at launch it had a mass of 6,384 kilograms (14,074 lb), with an expected operational lifespan of around 15 years.[2][5]
The launch of EchoStar XIV was conducted by
geosynchronous transfer orbit.[3] Following separation from the rocket, it manoeuvered into a geostationary orbit with a perigee of 35,785 kilometres (22,236 mi) and an apogee of 35,789 kilometres (22,238 mi).[2]
