On May 19, 2019, DISH Network entered into a Master Transaction Agreement pursuant to which, on September 10, 2019, the satellite service agreement for Nimiq 5 was transferred to DISH Network and we began leasing it from an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of DISH Network. Nimiq 5 was launched in September 2009 and commenced commercial operation at the 72.7 degree west longitude orbital location during October 2009. This satellite is accounted for as a finance lease and is being depreciated over the lease term which includes options to extend the lease that we are reasonably certain to exercise. We lease 100% of the capacity on Nimiq 5. See Note 17 for further discussion.
Ciel II. Ciel II, a Canadian DBS satellite, was launched in December 2008 and commenced commercial operation in February 2009. This satellite was previously accounted for as a finance lease and depreciated over the term of the satellite service agreement, however, as a result of an amendment, which was effective during the first quarter 2019, Ciel II is now accounted for as an operating lease. We lease 100% of the capacity on Ciel II. The initial 10-year term expired in January 2019 and as a result of an amendment, we renewed this lease through January 2021.
The summary of future maturities of our outstanding long-term debt as of December 31, 2019 is included in the commitments table in Note 12.
