Intelsat 306

  1970-003A

---

The F-6 satellite replaced F-2 as the primary AOR satellite, but was soon replaced in turn by F-7. After a stint in 1971 as the Atlantic backup, it was moved to the Indian Ocean in 1972, and then to the Pacific in around 1974-75. It was retired in 1976 and decommissioned in 1977.
