Mission Updates

14 June 2012
Report for Thursday June 14

The south solar array panel on IS-19 was deployed on 12 June 2012, following four apogee maneuver firings on 11 June 2012. Currently, we are conducting tests to establish the performance, power level, structural integrity and operability of the south array panel. The Ku-band deflector deployment is scheduled for 18 July.

Report for Monday June 4

Currently the solar array in inquiry is still not deployed. Intelsat and Space Systems/Loral, the manufacturer of the satellite, are investigating the cause and are pursuing corrective actions. Over the course of the next several days, Intelsat will execute commanded maneuvers in efforts to deploy the solar array panel.

There is no immediate impact to customers, as Intelsat 19 is a replacement satellite for Intelsat 8. Intelsat 8 is currently expected to remain in service through the end of 2019.
