The Ekspress-AM 8 is a communications satellite for russian domestic communication services. While the spacecraft itself is built by russian RSCC (Kosmicheskiya Svyaz), the communication payload is built by Thales Alenia Space.

The Express-AM8 satellite, to be launched in April 6, 2015 from Baikonur cosmodrome, into RSCC’s 14 degrees west orbital slot, will generate 5.9 kilowatts of end-of-life power to a payload consisting of 24 C-band, 12 Ka-band and 2 L-band transponders.
