Nimiq 2

 2002-062A

---

Nimiq 2, an A2100AX satellite, used a Proton-M/Briz-M on its first commercial launch. to 91W. Nimiq 1 will be relocated to 82W for backup. In 2003 it was reported that a solar array power problem caused two transponders to be taken off line; the satellite was replaced by Nimiq 1.

Nimiq 2 was leased to Bell Canada until 2013.

Mass 3600 kg.

Al Yah 3

 2018-012B

---

Yahsat satellite with Ka-band payload. Orbital Geostar-3.

Flight VA241 took off on time, but headed on entirely the wrong launch azimuth, and the rocket delivered the payloads to a 20 degree inclination orbit instead of the planned 3 degree one. Because of the incorrect trajectory, ground controllers lost telemetry around the time of ESC-A ignition, leading to fears the mission was entirely lost - but the satellites were later found in orbits with the correct apogee and perigee, and the wrong inclination.

The investigation report confirms that a single wrong number was responsible for the incorrect orbit achieved by Ariane V241/L5101. The inertial reference system was aligned at the usual 90 degrees azimuth, but for this mission - targeted at a slightly different transfer orbit than usual - 70 degrees should have been specified.
