O3b fleet

The O3b fleet was initially owned and operated by O3b Networks, which became a wholly owned subsidiary of SES S.A. in 2016[46] Orbiting in Medium Earth orbit (MEO), the first generation satellites are sometimes referred to as "O3b MEO" to more clearly distinguish them from the forthcoming second generation O3b mPOWER constellation (to launch 2022–2024).[47][48][49]


Third-party satellites

SES also manages some transponders on a few third-party satellites under joint operating agreements.
