Astra communications satellite, built by Thales Alenia Space for owner/operator SES. Launched by SpaceX on 20 June 2024, when it reaches geostationary orbit, the satellite will be positioned in SES's primary European broadcasting slot at 19.2° East, where it will join and replace the Astra 1KR, Astra 1L, Astra 1M, and Astra 1N satellites currently stationed there (of which the three have already exceeded their planned lifespans). Using all-electric thrusters, Astra 1P will take several months to reach geostationary orbit and is expected to begin service in early 2025.[1][2][3] Astra 1P is the first Astra satellite to be launched by SpaceX.[2]
