The $3,300,000,000 to $5,200,000,000 in bidder-covered costs are separate from $9,700,000,000 in accelerated clearing payments available to Intelsat, SES, Eutelsat, Telesat and Claro if they clear spectrum by early December 2023 instead of early December 2025.
Intelsat and SES each expect to spend nearly $1,700,000,000 on their C-band transitions inclusive of satellite manufacturing, launch and insurance, new teleport infrastructure, signal compression technology and other costs.
Intelsat has ordered six satellites and expects to order a seventh in September at an average manufacturing cost of $112,900,000 per satellite, totaling $790,000,000.
Galaxy-30 is a replacement for Intelsat's Galaxy-14 satellite, an 11-year-old satellite from Maxar Technologies that launched on a United Launch Alliance Atlas V in 2009.
Intelsat has ordered six C-band replacement satellites—four from Maxar Technologies and two from Northrop Grumman—and is pursuing $4,870,000,000 in accelerated spectrum clearing payments while negotiating with manufacturers for one more satellite.
Northrop Grumman and Intelsat plan to dock MEV-2 with Intelsat 10-02 directly in geostationary orbit in 2021, a maneuver that may require Intelsat 10-02 to pause service for 20 to 30 minutes.
Northrop Grumman's first servicer, MEV-1, docked with an Intelsat satellite in a graveyard orbit a few hundred kilometers above active geostationary satellites.
Northrop Grumman has a contract with Intelsat to extend the life of the 16-year-old Intelsat 10-02 communications satellite by five years using the MEV-2 servicer.
Intelsat ordered Galaxy-30 before the Federal Communications Commission had decided to auction 300 megahertz of C-band spectrum and require satellite operators to vacate the spectrum.
On the MEV-1 mission Intelsat moved the target satellite out of GEO into a graveyard orbit several hundred kilometers higher in case the docking created debris or disabled the satellite.
Ovzon signed a four-year agreement on 2020-08-11 to lease capacity on the Intelsat-37 and Intelsat-39 satellites.
Ovzon’s four-year lease of capacity on Intelsat-37 and Intelsat-39 provides additional capacity while Ovzon awaits the launch of its first satellite, Ovzon-3, in 2021 on an Ariane 5 rocket.
Luxembourg-based Intelsat says it needs seven replacement satellites and has ordered six, selecting Maxar Technologies to build four and Northrop Grumman to build two.
Eutelsat and Intelsat agreed to use an orbital slot they co-own at 48 degrees east in geosynchronous orbit.
Hughes Network Systems invested $50,000,000 in OneWeb in 2015 alongside Airbus Group, Bharti Enterprises, Coca-Cola, Intelsat, Qualcomm, Totalplay, and the Virgin Group as part of OneWeb’s $500,000,000 Series A round.
Global Eagle’s top unsecured creditors include SES ($26,600,000), Intelsat ($9,800,000), Yahsat ($3,600,000), Hughes Network Systems ($3,100,000), Telesat ($2,500,000), Arabsat ($1,000,000), and AsiaSat ($960,000).
Intelsat is currently the largest operator in the U.S., utilizing more than 60% of the C-band spectrum in the continental United States.
SES alleges that Intelsat continued to affirm and work with the C-Band Alliance for months after the FCC announced intent to pursue a public auction and then repudiated its obligations after the FCC spelled out individual funding amounts.
Intelsat reversed course in February after the U.S. Federal Communications Commission announced a $9,700,000,000 incentive program for C-band operators.
SES filed a claim on 2020-07-14 against Intelsat seeking at least $1,800,000,000 in damages.
