Russia's Luch satellite maneuvered near an Intelsat satellite for about 145 days in a potential co-orbital ASAT program.
Intelsat’s Galaxy-37 C-band replacement satellite is slated to come online later in 2023 to replace Galaxy-13.
Intelsat will allocate half of the C-band incentive proceeds toward paying down debt, and Intelsat’s debt stood at $7,000,000,000 after the company emerged from bankruptcy early in 2022.
Intelsat received about $1,200,000,000 for hitting an interim 2021 C-band clearing milestone and will receive nearly $5,000,000,000 in total incentive clearing payments including the 2023 payment.
Intelsat launched its seventh and final C-band clearing satellite in 2023 as part of its spectrum-clearing effort.
Intelsat officially certified its C-band clearing work on 2023-07-12, and the FCC automatically validated that certification on 2023-08-11 after a 30-day challenge period passed without a challenge.
Tom McNamara, senior vice president of commercial programs at Intelsat, led Intelsat’s C-band clearing project and Intelsat finished clearing the frequencies and protecting ground earth stations from interference in June 2023.

Intelsat will use Galaxy 37/Horizons-4’s C-band capability over the continental United States.
Galaxy 37/Horizons-4 joins four satellites built on the Maxar 1300™ bus that are already in orbit and transition Intelsat’s broadband coverage to free up spectrum for 0.005 kg terrestrial wireless services.
The G-37/H-4 launch completes Intelsat’s Galaxy fleet refresh plan that began about 10 months earlier.
The H-4 Ku-band payload will be owned jointly by Intelsat and JSAT International, the U.S.-owned subsidiary of SKY Perfect JSAT Corp.
Intelsat successfully launched Galaxy 37/Horizons-4 (G-37/H-4).
The Ku-band payload on Galaxy 37/Horizons-4 is jointly owned by Intelsat and JSAT International.
Because Galaxy-37 was not launched in pairs like Intelsat’s other replacement C-band spacecraft, SpaceX placed Galaxy-37 into a high-energy orbit that reduces the fuel needed to reach its final slot.
