Spacecom is paying AsiaSat $22 million a year to borrow AsiaSat-8 while it prepares a replacement for Amos-6, which was lost Sept. 1, 2016 during a Falcon 9 explosion.

Israeli satellite operator Spacecom has begun offering telecom services with a satellite it borrowed from AsiaSat in December to fill the void left by the loss of Amos-6, the operator said today.
