Ekspress AM22 (Russian: Экспресс АМ22, meaning Express AM22) is a communications satellite. It belongs to the Russian Satellite Communications Company (RSCC) based in Moscow[4]

The satellite has a total of 24 transponders, 12 of which are referred to as SESAT 2, and are leased to Eutelsat by the RSCC (Russian Satellite Communications Company). The remaining 12 transponders, with domestic coverage of the Russian Federation, are commercialised by the RSCC under the name EKSPRESS AM22.[5]

The satellite can be received in Europe, Asia, the Middle East and the most part of Russia. The transfer takes place in the Ku band.

Since the launch of Ekspress AM6, AM22 has been moved to a new orbit at 80.0° East.
