NSS-8 was a Dutch telecommunications satellite that was destroyed during launch. It was aBoeing 702 spacecraft with 56C-band and 36Ku-band transponders, and it was part of theSES NEW SKIES.

The satellite, which was insured, was destroyed when the rocket that was launching it exploded. The rocket was aZenit 3SL being launched bySea Launch from itsOcean Odyssey launch pad. The launch attempt occurred at 23:22GMT on 30 January 2007. "There was an explosion as we were lifting off," said Paula Korn, a spokeswoman for Sea Launch.[1][2]

NSS-8 was designed to support a wide range of functions, including broadcast applications, government and military operations, corporate communications and Broadband Internet services. When placed in its final orbital position (57° E), the satellite would have provided coverage to two-thirds of the planet, serving countries in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, the Indian subcontinent and Asia.
