The Astra satellites, operated by SES, are positioned in geostationary orbit at an altitude of approximately 36,000 kilometers (about 22,236 miles) above the Earth's equator. This altitude allows them to maintain a fixed position relative to the Earth's surface, enabling consistent communication coverage. Different Astra satellites may have slightly varying positions within this orbit based on their specific functions and coverage areas.
