The 4488 kg (9886 lbm) Galaxy 11 satellite uses a Boeing Satellite System BSS 702 bus. Galaxy 11 is  positioned in geostationary orbit at 91°W. The 24 C-band transponders will use 34-watt and 20-watt power amplifiers for general telecommunication traffic such as voice, data and television relay. The 24 Ku-band transponders will use 75-watt amplifiers for direct-to-user services. The satellite is designed for a life of 15 years, with an expected 14.7 kW of power available at end of life. The stowed dimensions of the satellite are 6.2 m x 3.8 m x 3.4 m (20.3 ft x 12.5 ft x 11.2 ft).
