The Express-AT1 and Express-AT2 telecommunications satellites, developed and manufactured by RESHETNEV company under the order of FSUE "Kosmicheskaya Svyaz", play an important role in providing digital broadcasting throughout Russia, including remote and hard-to-reach regions.

Both spacecraft are based on medium-class platforms of their own design: Express-1000HTV for Express-AT1, and Express-1000K for Express-AT2. The satellites were launched into geostationary orbit on March 16, 2014, in a paired launch. Their main task is to retransmit digital direct broadcasting packages for federal and regional operators, including NTV Plus, Tricolor and Orion.

Currently, Express-AT1 occupies an orbital position of 56° east longitude, and Express-AT2 is located at 140° east longitude. Thanks to them, millions of Russian residents, including those in the northern and far eastern regions, have access to digital television.
