Originally owned by Satellite Business Systems, Inc., the spacecraft was sold to MCI in 1985 and transferred to IBM Satellite Transponder Leasing Corp. in 1987. In 1993 communications capacity on the satellite was bought up by NBC. In 1990 STLC was acquired by Hughes/HCI. By 2000, SBS 4 was assigned to Hughes Global Services and renamed HGS-5. In 2003-2004 it was moved to 125W, and then in 2005 it was retired.

A new generation FSW/JB satellite was launched by a CZ-2D with a stretched second stage in late 2003, shortly after the first piloted Shenzhou flight. It was reportedly designated Jianbing-4.
I speculate a slightly larger mass of 3200 kg for the JB-4, with a recoverable section mass of 1200 kg. Chen Lan reports the mass as 3800 kg and the launch vehicle as CZ-2D2 (an uprated second lot of CZ-2D rockets).
