The O3b mPOWER satellites are based on Boeing's multi-orbit BSS-702X satellite bus with an all-electric propulsion system and a payload that can be reprogrammed from the ground to reallocate resources on the fly.The O3b mPOWER satellites use fully shapable and steerable spot beams that can be shifted and scaled in real time to suit individual users. The satellites will join SES existing constellation of 20 first-generation O3b satellites in MEO and operate in conjunction with them and the SES fleet of geostationary satellites.
