Intelsat 906 is the thirtieth satellite SS/L has delivered to the international communications provider since 1980, and the sixth satellite in the Intelsat IX series. Intelsat 907, the final spacecraft in the series, is set to launch in the first quarter of 2003. The Intelsat IX satellites are some of the largest and most advanced satellites that SS/L has built to date.

When all seven spacecraft in the Intelsat IX series have been delivered, SS/L will have built 31 spacecraft for Intelsat, nearly half of its historical fleet, and significantly more than any other manufacturer.

Intelsat 906 will serve the Indian Ocean region from its orbital position at 64 degrees East longitude.

The Intelsat 906 satellite carries 22 Ku-band and up to 72 C-band transponders (in 36 MHz equivalents), and its solar arrays will generate more than 9.5 kilowatts of power (beginning of life). The Intelsat IX series spacecraft each carry a much greater percentage of high-power amplifiers and generate more solar array power than their predecessors with only a small increase in dry mass.

This increased power and efficiency provides Intelsat with better coverage and stronger signals to help satisfy the demand for digital services, smaller earth stations, and specialized communications services. They are replacing the Intelsat VI satellites now on orbit to provide enhanced voice, video, and data transmission services across the globe.

The spacecraft is based on SS/L's space-proven 1300 geostationary satellite platform, which has an excellent record of reliable operation. The 1300 is designed to achieve a long useful life, in this case 13 years, excellent station-keeping, and orbital stability by using bipropellant propulsion and momentum-bias systems. A system of high efficiency solar arrays and batteries provides uninterrupted electrical power. In all, SS/L satellites have amassed a total of more than 900 years of on-orbit service.
