 Space Systems/Loral has announced that it was selected to provide a new direct broadcast satellite (DBS) for DISH Network. The new satellite, which is based on SS/L's space-proven 1300 platform, will support the expansion of DISH Network's programming and services. EchoStar XV is planned for launch in 2010. It will be the eighth SS/L satellite built for EchoStar.

"Both DISH Network and SS/L share the same kind of passion for excellence that is helping to advance the Direct-to-Home television industry," said John Celli, president and chief operating officer of Space Systems/Loral. "We are very proud of our continued close working relationship with DISH Network."

"Space Systems/Loral's record of reliability and their high powered platform are very important to our business," said Rohan Zaveri, vice president of Space Programs for DISH Network. "We are pleased to add another Space Systems/Loral-built satellite to the DISH Network fleet."

EchoStar XV is based on the space-proven Space Systems/Loral 1300 satellite bus, which provides the flexibility for a broad range of applications. To date SS/L satellites have amassed more than 1,400 years of reliable on-orbit service.
