1976-017A
Marisat F-1, or Marisat 101, was launched in Feb 1976 by a Delta from Cape Canaveral. It was the first of the L-band mobile communications satellites, and was used for ship-to-shore communications from specially equipped vessels. Marisat F-1 was stationed at 15W to become the Marisat Atlantic satellite. In 1982 the satellite was leased by the International Maritime Satellite Organization (INMARSAT) and became the INMARSAT Atlantic Spare satellite. The next year, it was replaced as Atlantic Spare by the MCS payload on Intelsat 506, but remained in reserve as an INMARSAT satellite.
