Amazonas 5, prepared on the basis of the platform will be used by SSL 1300 for distribution of video services and connections to the Internet in Latin America. The cosmic device will be parked at position 61 ° w.

Amazonas 5 is equipped with 24 transponders in the Ku-band with the coverage of Central and South America and a further 35 volumes in the Ka band.

The new satellite will allow the distribution of 500 new television programs and by carrier will be the key to the promotion of television in Ultra HD resolution in the region.

Originally the satellite should be carried off by a carrier rocket, the Falcon 9, the American company SpaceX. HISPASAT finally decided to use the services of a Russian Proton.
