Intelsat 806

 1998-014A


806 will be at 41.5W AOR, the slot disputed with Columbia Comms. Corp which was using C-band capacity on TDRS 4. While 801 to 804 provided voice and data relay replacing Intelsat 5, the 805 and 806 satellites were oriented to TV broadcast, and their transponders were higher power [870]. 806 was operated by Intelsat Video Services to provide service to Europe and Latin America. Atlas AC-151 launched 806 into a standard geostationary transfer orbit, after which multiple LAE burns took it to GEO. In 1998 I806 became part of the spinoff company New Skies Satellites NV and was renamed NSS 806.
