The Telkom-2 satellite is based on Orbital's STAR-2
satellite platform, generating approximately three kilowatts of
electrical power and carrying 24 C-band transponders.
Over the past several years, Orbital has firmly established itself
as a leading supplier of small GEO satellites designed to provide
direct-to-home TV broadcasting , cable program distribution, business
data network capacity, regional mobile communications and similar
services. The company's
primary products are launch vehicles and satellites, including missile
defense boosters that are used as interceptor and target vehicles,
ground- and air-launched rockets that deliver satellites into orbit,
and low-orbit, geostationary and planetary spacecraft for
communications , remote sensing and scientific missions.

pre-launch ground delivery in November 2004. Orbital's STAR satellites are
smaller and significantly less expensive to manufacture and launch. More
