Launch
Intelsat 10-02 was launched by a Proton-M rocket from Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan, at 22:27 UTC on June 16, 2004.[6]
Capacity and coverage
The 3 tonne satellite will provide digital broadcasting, telephone, and broadband internet access to users in Europe, South America, Africa and the Middle East through its 36 Ku-band, and 70 C-band transponders after parking over 1 degree west longitude.[6]
Future
In late 2020, Intelsat-10-02 is scheduled to rendezvous with Northrop Grumman's MEV-2 satellite, which will extend its service life by returning it to a proper geosynchronous orbit.[7][8]
