Intelsat, operator of one of the world\u2019s largest integrated satellite and terrestrial network and leading provider of inflight connectivity, announced the successful launch of Galaxy 37\/Horizons-4 (G-37\/H-4), setting a new record for the commercial satellite industry by sending eight geostationary satellites into space within 10 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis launch completes our comprehensive Galaxy fleet refresh plan started about 10 months ago,\u201d said Dave Wajsgras, CEO at Intelsat. \u201cThis milestone is now a part of the 40-year Galaxy legacy \u2013 satellites our North American customers have relied on for decades. It also marks the 20-year anniversary of our JSAT partnership. This joint venture has allowed both companies to serve more customers in more places throughout the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Maxar-manufactured satellite launched aboard SpaceX\u2019s Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida at 1:00 a.m. EDT. G-37\/H-4 separated from the vehicle at 1:33 a.m. EDT, and Intelsat confirmed its signal acquisition at 1:37 a.m. EDT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When operations start later this year, G-37\/H-4 will be positioned at 127 degrees West and deliver a wide range of services and coverage. The G-37 C-Band payload will provide North American capacity for television media and telecommunication network customers. The H-4 Ku-band payload will provide continuity for our mobility, network, and U.S. government customers and will be owned jointly by Intelsat and JSAT International, the U.S.-owned subsidiary of SKY Perfect JSAT Corp.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
