SES' SIRIUS 4 Satellite Delivered to Launch Site



    SES (Paris:SESG) (LuxX:SESG) announces that the SIRIUS 4 satellite
    of SES SIRIUS has been delivered to the Baikonour Cosmodrome for a
    Proton launch in November 2007.

    The shipment of the spacecraft follows the clearance to resume the
    launch schedule of Proton by the Russian commission investigating the
    launch failure of September 6, 2007. SES participated in the Failure
    Review Oversight Board and was given full visibility of the
    investigation findings.

    The launch date for SIRIUS 4 has been set for November 18th, 2007.
    This timetable is subject to confirmation following the success of the
    Proton mission set for October 25th, 2007. On that mission Proton is
    scheduled to loft three Russian Glonass navigation satellites.

    SIRIUS 4 is a multi-mission Ku/Ka-band satellite to be deployed at
    the orbital position of 5 degrees East. The spacecraft has been built
    on Lockheed Martin's reliable A2100AX platform with the mission to
    enhance SES SIRIUS' capacity at 5 degrees East and to further extend
    coverage of Eastern Europe.
