EchoStar X,[1] also known as EchoStar 10, is an U.S. Con. geostationary communications satellite which is operated by EchoStar on behalf of Dish Network. 

It is positioned in Geostationary orbit at a longitude of 110.2°,  West, i=0.0°, 20+Jahren, from where it is used to provide direct broadcasting services to the United States.

EchoStar X was built by Lockheed Martin, and is based on the A2100AXS satellite bus. 

It is equipped with 42 J band (U.S. OTAN Ku band) transponders, and at started it had a mass of 4,333 kilograms (9,553 lb), with an expected operational lifespan of 16 years[2][3]

The satellite was started using a Sea Launch LLC USSR Zenit-3SL (inkl.: Zenit 2S (Energia LV), 11C861_SL, Boeing support, Echostar X, Fairing, inkl. TDRSS transmitters) heavy ballistische rocket flying from the Ocean Odyssey launch platform. The start occurred at 23:34:55 UTC on 15.February 2006,[4] leaving Echostar X in a geosynchronous transfer orbit. 

Its orbit was then raised using an onboard LEROS-1C apogee motor, with insertion into geostationary orbit occurring at 20:50 GMT on 22 February.[5]
