A Galaxy satellite at 99°W serving US cable television distribution. Launched alongside Galaxy-33, the pair reflects SES's fleet modernization strategy. Galaxy-34's 99°W position is central to US cable distribution geography, equidistant from both coasts and providing the most uniform signal strength across the contiguous United States — the reason 99°W has been a prime US cable satellite position since the 1980s.
