AMC-12

This series of satellites based on the new generation Spacebus-4000C3 platform has been originally ordered by GE-Americom as GE 1i, 2i, 3i, 4i, and 2E. They were renamed to AMC after SES took over Americom and some were cancelled in this process. AMC 12 features 72 C-Band transponders; it will provide digital TV, telecommunications, data, and video transmissions, connecting over the Atlantic Ocean, North and South America, Europe, and Africa. AMC 12 was originally ordered as GE 1i, and AMC 22 was originally GE 3i, but this one was cancelled.
