ES XXV will be built on the proven Maxar 1300 series platform at the company's manufacturing facilities in Palo Alto and San Jose, California.

"We offer scalable platforms to support a variety of missions, and we're proud to continue that legacy with this new order."

ES XXV joins a fleet of Maxar spacecraft in orbit. Since 1999, Maxar has manufactured 11 satellites for DISH TV's fleet, including several of the largest commercial satellites ever built.
