On December 22, at 2:29 am CET the second mission of Orbcomm OG2 satellites
was launched successfully by a Falcon 9 rocket from the SpaceX launchpad in
Cape Canaveral, Florida. The eleven OG2 satellites were successfully
separated from the Falcon 9 launch vehicle into the proper insertion orbit.
By this launch, the OG2-constellation is completed. Orbcomm is the world's
first and only commercial satellite network 100% dedicated to M2M. The
ORBCOMM network uses low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites to provide reliable
and cost-effective M2M communications all over the world.
OHB SE (Prime Standard, ISIN DE0005936124) holds a long-time strategic
share in Orbcomm Inc. as well a 50% share in Orbcomm Europe LLC.
Furthermore, OHB markets Obcomm services in Germany through its subsidiary
Orbcomm Deutschland AG.
Marco Fuchs, Chief Executive Officer of OHB SE and long-term member of the
Orbcomm Board is excited about the OG2 launch: "I am thrilled about this
success. OHB is already invested in Orbcomm for more than 20 years. Since
this time, we keep track of Orbcomm's impressive development to become the
leading global M2M company with currently more than 1.3 million
subscribers. The successful launch of the OG2 satellites will offer us new
prospects even for the European M2M market."
