Anik C3

 1982-110C


Telesat Canada's Anik C series of satellites used the HS-376 bus and carried Ku-band transponders. They were complemented by the Anik D series of C-band satellites. The three satellites built were launched in reverse order. Anik C-3 was launched by a PAM-D stage from the Shuttle Columbia on its fifth mission in Nov 1982.
