Intelsat 203

  1967-026A


The Intelsat II F-3 satellite (nicknamed Lani Bird or Atlantic 2) was stationed over the Eastern Atlantic to supplement Early Bird. From 1967 to 1969 it remained over 0-20W. In late 1969 it was stationed at 13W, remaining there as a backup until May 1971 when stationkeeping was somewhat relaxed. 2F3 remained over the Atlantic until May 1974 when it began to drift. It was switched off in May 1977.
