Intelsat V

Intelsat 514, previously named Intelsat VA F-14, was a communications satellite operated by Intelsat. Launched in 1986, it was the fourteenth of fifteen Intelsat V satellites to be launched. The Intelsat V series was constructed by Ford Aerospace, based on the Intelsat-V satellite bus.

Intelsat VA F-14 was part of an advanced series of satellites designed to provide greater telecommunications capacity for Intelsat's global network. The satellite was destroyed because of explosion of the Ariane 2 rocket, in the third stage.

The satellite was successfully launched into space on 31 May 1986, at 00:53:03 UTC, by means of an Ariane 2 vehicle from the Guiana Space Centre, Kourou, French Guiana. It had a launch mass of 2,013 kg.^[3] The Intelsat IVA F-14 was equipped with 6 Ku-band transponders more 26 C-band transponders for 15,000 audio circuits and 2 TV channels.
