Boeing 601 SUPERBIRD-6 in Orbit

In 2005, Space Communications Corporation (SCC) of Tokyo, Japan selected Boeing Satellite Systems to build SUPERBIRD-6, a Boeing 601 satellite that was the third Boeing satellite built for SCC. The satellite was launched on April 15, 2004 on an Atlas IIAS launch vehicle from Cape Canaveral AS, Florida. However, it failed to reach the proper orbit due to underperformance of the booster. SUPERBIRD-6, was slated for an orbital slot at 158.0 degrees East longitude, and would have provided business telecommunication services to Japan in Ku-Band and Ka-Band and an additional Ka-Band services using a Steerable Spot Beam.
