Intelsat V

Intelsat 502, previously named Intelsat V F-2, was a communications satellite operated by Intelsat. Launched in 1980, it was the second of fifteen Intelsat VI satellites to be launched. The Intelsat V series was constructed by Ford Aerospace, based on the Intelsat-V satellite bus.

Intelsat V F-2 was part of an advanced series of satellites designed to provide greater telecommunications capacity for Intelsat's global network. The satellite was deactivated on April 14, 1998.

The satellite was successfully launched into space on December 6, 1980, at 23:31 UTC, by means of an Atlas SLV-3D Centaur-D1AR vehicle from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida, United States. It had a launch mass of 1,928 kg. The Intelsat 502 was equipped with 4 Ku-band transponders more 21 C-band transponders for 12,000 audio circuits and 2 TV channels.
