Additional information IRIDIUM 166
IRIDIUM 166, also known as Iridium Next SV166, is a communication and traffic monitoring satellite operated by IRIDS. Launched on July 25, 2018, from AFWTR SLC4E using a Falcon 9 launch vehicle, the satellite features a BUS configuration of EliteBus-ELiTeBus-1000 with dimensions measuring 3.1 meters in length and 1.5 meters in diameter, and spans 9.4 meters. Its dry mass is 700 kg while its launch mass was 860 kg. Equipped with a L-band payload, Ka-band cross-links, downlinks, ADS-B payload, and an AIS-receiver (one of 58 satellites equipped with this feature), the satellite also includes two deployable solar arrays and batteries for power generation. Designed to operate for ten years with a planned lifetime extension up to fifteen years, IRIDIUM 166 is part of NGISGAs manufacturing portfolio and serves both communication and traffic monitoring purposes in orbit.
