Es'hail 1, the first and only operational satellite in Es'hailSat's fleet, provides services for companies including BeIN Sports and Al Jazeera, who utilized the satellite's bandwidth for broadcasting HD TV. The satellite launched aboard Arianespace's Ariane 5 rocket in late 2014 and serves at the 25.5 degree East longitude.

Besides Es'hail 1, the company has also placed an order for a second satellite, Es'hail 2, which will launch aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket in the latter half of 2016. Es'hail 2 is contracted to be built by Japan's Mitsubishi Electric company, and will operate at 26 degrees East longitude along a geostationary orbit to provide direct-to-home television services in the Middle East and North Africa region.
