About
Yamal-402 is a geostationary telecommunications satellite operated by Gazprom Space Systems, positioned at 55 degrees East longitude. Launched in December 2012, the satellite was built by Thales Alenia Space (France) on the Spacebus-4000 platform. It provides Ku-band capacity across Russia, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East using multiple shaped beams. Yamal-402 supports corporate and government communication networks, social projects, and broadband services. Its wide coverage area makes it particularly valuable for pan-regional connectivity across the Russian, Northern, European, and Southern beam footprints.
