Telecomunicaciones de Mexico ordered the HS-601 Solidaridad satellites as replacements for its earlier HS-376 Morelos system.
The Solidaridad 1 satellite was a 3.4 x 2.8 x 3.8 m box with a 21 m span solar panel array and two antenna reflectors. Launch mass was 2776 kg, decreasing to 1672 kg after apogee firings. Dry mass is 1291 kg.
