Anik C1

 1985-028B


In 1993 Anik C-1 was sold to Paracomsat, owned 90 percent by Paracom SA of Buenos Aires and 10 percent by Telesat. It was moved to 72W to provide Paracom services as a precursor to Argentina's Nahuel system. In 1996 Telesat bought the satellite back since Argentina now had Nahuel 1A. In Apr 2000 Anik C-1 was acquired by Loral Skynet do Brasil and renamed Brasil 1(T). It was then moved to 63W to provide limited service awaiting the launch of Loral's Estrela do Sul satellite.
