Boeing has kicked off operations for an all-electric propulsion satellite the company developed for ABS.

The 702SP satellite now services customers in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Africa following an on-orbit handover on Aug. 31, Boeing said Thursday.

“702SP’s patented dual-launch capability helps customers share launch costs, which can significantly lower overall expenses for a satellite owner,” said Mark Spiwak, president of Boeing Satellite Systems International.

The element contained in the spacecraft’s all-electric xenon-ion propulsion system will be responsible for the satellite’s operations for at least 15 years, Boeing says.
