Three Boeing 702HP satellites, called DIRECTV 10, DIRECTV 11 and DIRECTV 12, and six Ka-band uplink sites enable DIRECTV to provide consumers unprecedented local and national High Definition Television (HDTV). The payload will be powered by a massive solar array that spans more than 48 meters - a length greater than the height of the Statue of Liberty - consisting of ultra triple-junction gallium arsenide solar cells.
