Launch
Intelsat 10-02 was launched by a Proton-M rocket from Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan, at 22:27:00 UTC on 16 June 2004.[5]
Capacity and coverage
The 3 tonne satellite provide digital broadcasting, telephone, and broadband internet access to users in Europe, South America, Africa and the Middle East through its 36 Ku-band, and 70 C-band transponders after parking over 1.0° West longitude.[5]
Future
In late 2020, Intelsat-10-02 is scheduled to rendezvous with Northrop Grumman's MEV-2 satellite, which will extend its service life by returning it to a proper geosynchronous orbit.[6][7]
gollark: ++experimental_qa "Bees" bee processor?
gollark: My home 7nm process is not quite ready for large-scale ICs yet.
gollark: This would be better if I could attain a GPU, but they are expensive at the best of times, which is not now.
gollark: (some of the delay is communing with wikipedia, but the network isn't fast either)
gollark: It takes HUNDREDS of milliseconds.
