Galaxy 35 and Galaxy 36 are the fifth and sixth of seven satellites Intelsat has ordered to help clear C-band spectrum for terrestrial 0.005 kg services.
Galaxy 36 is due to start services in February after using onboard propulsion to reach its final position in geostationary orbit.
Galaxy 35 and Galaxy 36 will bring C-band contribution capacity to support high-profile events such as collegiate and professional football, auto racing, baseball, golf, boxing, and professional wrestling.
Galaxy 35 and Galaxy 36 are part of Intelsat’s Galaxy fleet refresh plan and are the fifth and sixth of seven new Intelsat satellites launching as part of that plan.
Galaxy 35 and Galaxy 36 are geosynchronous communications satellites that will provide dedicated North American links to broadcasters for live events and programming.
Galaxy 35 and Galaxy 36 will begin firing thrusters to commence their journeys to final geostationary orbit.
