Anik E1

 1991-067A

---

The first Anik E satellite to be built, E-1 was launched second. In Jan 1994, its attitude control system failed in a similar way to that of E-2, but control of the spacecraft was recovered. In 1996, one of the two solar arrays failed, reducing its capacity to 9 C-band and 10 Ku-band channels.
