1997-062A
Apstar 2R is an FS-1300 to be launched by LM-3B. In 1999, Loral Skynet leased the entire capacity of the satellite to replace its failed Orion 3 satellite; the successor company Telesat ended the lease in 2009.
Size 31 m span, 8.6m x 9.3m deployed. Mass 3747 kg at launch.
The CZ-3B stage second burn was about 2.6km/s, requiring a mass ratio of 1.83 and the post-burn mass was around 6750 kg including payload assuming 200 kg residual fuel. This implies a propellant usage of 5600 kg.
The satellite is also known as Apstar 4 and Telstar 10.
