ICO F2

 2001-026A

---

ICO F2 was the first New ICO (former ICO Global Communications) satellite to launch after the reorganization under Craig McCaw. ICO Global is based in the Cayman Islands and the satellite was registered by the UK.

In 2010 ICO moved to Kirkland, Wash from Reston. In July 2011 ICO became Pendrell Corp. of Kirkland, Washington. after the sale of subsidiary DBSD to Dish Network. A ground station was located at Brewster, Washington.

In Mar 2012 the satellite was reported to have been passivated and abandoned. However in 2013 Space News reported that Sirion Global Pty Ltd. claimed to have reserved bandwith on the satellite, allegedly now owned by Omnispace.
