Anik D1

 1982-082A

---

Anik D-1 was the first of two C-band satellites used to replace the C-band capacity of Anik B. Unlike the other HS-376 class satellites, the Anik D satellites were built by Canada's Spar Aerospace, in collaboration with Hughes. The Spar-built variant was given the designation HS-383.
