The B2P (P for `Perigganti' or `Replacement') satellite was built to back up the failed Palapa B2 satellite. Palapa B2P was launched in Mar 1987 by a Delta. The satellite was sold in Aug 1996 for use by Mabuhay Philippines Satellite Corp. (PLDT) and renamed Agila 1 (`Eagle'). It was finally retired in 1998.
