Estrela do Sul

 2004-001A

---

Loral Skynet do Brasil's Estrela do Sul 1 (EDS-1, Telstar 14) is an LS-1300 with 36 Ku-band tsp and two spot beams. It will operate at 63W. Launch by Zenit-3SL No. 12 with Blok DM-SL No. 9L in 2004 Jan. Also known as Telstar 14; not registered with the UN by the USA, so presumably intended to be registered by Brasil. Mass 4694 kg.

The north solar array failed to deploy completely after launch; only three of five panels deployed. There was some concern a launch vehicle fairing problem might have been the cause, but in 2012 it was discovered that a solar panel manufacturing problem was to blame. The satellite was retired in 2011.
