MEASAT-3b LAUNCH RESCHEDULED TO 6 JUNE 2014

Kuala Lumpur, 23 May 2014 – MEASAT Global Berhad (“MEASAT”) announced today that the launch of the MEASAT-3b satellite, previously scheduled for 28 May 2014, has been rescheduled to 6 June 2014 GFT (7 June 2014 Kuala Lumpur time).The MEASAT-3b launch date was rescheduled to allow the MEASAT-3b co-passenger additional time to prepare for the launch.“The main focus of the launch campaign is to ensure that both the satellite and launch vehicle are ready for launch,” said Dr Ali Ebadi, Senior Vice President – Space System Development, MEASAT Satellite Systems Sdn. Bhd. “Given the complexity of the satellite and launch vehicle, it is not uncommon for the technical teams to request time for additional checks.”MEASAT-3b is designed to provide an additional 48 high powered Ku-band transponders at the 91.5°E orbital slot to expand Direct-To-Home and VSAT services across Malaysia, India, Indonesia and Australia. Co-located with MEASAT-3 and MEASAT-3a, the satellite will more than double MEASAT’s Ku-band capacity at 91.5°E creating one of the region’s most powerful and robust orbital locations.Updates on the MEASAT-3b launch can be found at http://www.measat com/3b
