Additional information IRIDIUM 126

IRIDIUM 126, also known as Iridium Next SV126, is a communication and traffic monitoring satellite manufactured by OATKGA for IRIDS (Iridium). It was launched on June 25, 2017, from AFWTR using the Falcon 9 launch vehicle. The satellite has dimensions of 3.1 meters in length, 1.5 meters in diameter, and a span of 9.4 meters. Its dry mass is 700 kilograms with a launch mass of 860 kilograms. Equipped with L-band payload, Ka-band cross-links, Ka-band downlinks, ADS-B payload, and an AIS-receiver (on 58 satellites), it operates on solar power using two deployable solar arrays and batteries. The satellites design lifetime is 10 years, but a planned extension could increase this to 15 years. Its shape is described as a half hex prism with two panels.
