This is the initial parking orbit. A 55 second burn will carry the second stage and SES-12 passenger to the desired geostationary transfer orbit (GTO), raising the orbit's apogee to the targeted deployment orbit. SES-12 then uses its SPT-140D thrusters to push on to GEO.

Falcon second burn of the second stage

This burn increases the speed of stage 2, putting the vehicle in elliptical orbit; it will coast to an apogee around 36000 km up. Vehicle is now in geotransfer orbit - waiting for SES-12 to separate from the stage

SpaceX successfully launched the SES-12 satellite to a Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO) on Monday, June 4, 2018 from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida. Liftoff occurred at 12:45 a.m. EDT. The SES-12 satellite was deployed about 32 minutes after liftoff.

SES-12 Roars into Space on-board SpaceX Falcon 9 Rocket
Written on 03 Jun 2018

Powerful satellite serving Asia-Pacific and the Middle East will elevate viewing and connectivity experiences to meet diverse needs of video, fixed data, mobility and government customers

Luxembourg, 4 June 2018 – SES announced today that SES-12 was successfully launched onboard a flight-proven SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket fr om Cape Canaveral in Florida, United States, at 00:45 local time.

SES-12, which is uniquely designed with state-of-the-art wide beams and high throughput beams, will join SES-8 at 95 degrees East to meet the diverse needs of video, fixed data, mobility and government customers across Asia-Pacific and the Middle East. SES-12 is the latest satellite that SES has launched to that orbital position wh ere it will operate under the authority of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. It will replace and augment the services currently being provided on SES' NSS-6 satellite.

Together with SES-8, SES-12 will reach 18 million TV homes from its orbital position. The satellites will provide pay-TV operators the reliability and scalability to elevate viewing experiences by adding more content and delivering higher-quality picture quality to address the ever-increasing audience demand for High Definition (HD) and Ultra HD content.

Like SES-14 and SES-15, which serve the Americas, the SES-12 high throughput payload is SES' solution for enhancing connectivity in the aeronautical and maritime segments across Asia-Pacific and the Middle East. SES-12 will also be pivotal in enabling governments to provide connectivity programmes to bridge the digital divide, and in allowing telcos, mobile network operators and internet service providers to deliver more reliable cellular backhaul and faster broadband services.
 
Martin Halliwell, Chief Technology Officer at SES said, "More content. More immersive viewing experience. Blazing internet speeds. Reliable cell coverage. All of these dynamic customer requirements can now be met with the successful launch of SES-12, which will provide incremental high performance capacity and offer greater reliability and flexibility to our customers."

With six wide beams and 72 high throughput user spot beams, SES-12 is one of the largest geostationary satellites that SES has ever launched. The spacecraft also has a Digital Transparent Processor (DTP) that increases payload flexibility to provide much more customisable bandwidth solutions to SES's customers. The all-electric SES-12 spacecraft was built by Airbus Defence and Space, and will rely on electric propulsion for orbit raising and subsequent in-orbit manoeuvres. SES-12 will join SES' network of seven geostationary satellites and 16 MEO satellites across Asia-Pacific and the Middle East.
