Satmex
Satmex (Satélites Mexicanos) was a company set up in Mexico in the mid-1990s through 2014 that operated space communication satellites that provide services to the Americas. In 2014, it was acquired by Eutelsat, and Eutelsat now operates the three satellites formerly operated by Satmex.[citation needed]
SATMEX existed as a company from approximately 1997 until 2014, when it was acquired by Eutelsat. At the time of the acquisition in 2014, SATMEX had three operating satellites prior to the sale to Eutelsat: Satmex 8, Satmex 6, Satmex 5.[citation needed] The three communication satellites provide local, regional and continental coverage in C band and Ku band.
1968
Mexico becomes a subscriber of the Intelsat system. The first Mexican satellite facilities in the state of Hidalgo.
The transmission of the 1968 Summer Olympics[which?] is made through color television.[citation needed]
1970
Capacity of an Intelsat satellite is used for domestic services.[citation needed]
1982
The Communications and Transports Secretary (SCT) hires Hughes to build the Mexican satellite system "Morelos" (two HS-376 geostationary satellites, stabilized by rotation).[citation needed]
1985
June 17: Morelos I is launched from Cape Canaveral aboard the 51-G crewed mission of NASA.
The satellite successfully reaches the 113 ° W orbital position, with national coverage.
Construction of Iztapalapa Control Center, located in Mexico City.
November 27: Morelos II was launched from Cape Canaveral aboard the shuttle Atlantis (OV-104), on NASA's crewed mission 61-B, in which the first Mexican astronaut participated. The satellite occupied the orbital position of 116.8 ° W, with national coverage.
1989
Telecomm (Mexico Telecommunications) is created, a decentralized body[clarification needed] becomes the Morelos Satellite System Operator.[citation needed]
1991
May: Telecomm hires Hughes for the construction of the Solidaridad Satellites. It consists of two HS-601 geostationary satellites with tri-axial stabilization, which were designed to provide C-band services in México, the southern United States and the rest of Latin America, with Ku-band services in Mexico and the United States.
