THOR 7 at 1° West satellite, built by Space Systems/Loral (SS/L), is operated by Space Norway (former Telenor Satellite Services). The satellite was launched on 26 April 2015 by launch operator Arianespace, lifted in a dual launch with the SICRAL-2 spacecraft for Telespazia, on behalf of the Italian Ministry of Defense.

The satellite is equipped with both a Ku-band and an High throughput (HTS) Ka-band payload.  The Ku-band payload transponders offer high powered Central and Eastern European coverage. The Ka-band payload provides coverage over the North Sea, Red Sea, Baltic Sea, North Atlantic , Persian Gulf and the Mediterranean Sea.

In April 2018 that time, Telenor signed a multi-transponder agreement with satellite operator Intelsat to support growth of leading Direct-to-Home (DTH) platform in Central and Eastern Europe on THOR 7 at 1° West.
