    Default Intelsat 1R moving

    How far will Intelsat 1R move west. Is it to be de-commissioned or found a new slot in our region ?

    Cheers

    It was launched in 2000 and had a 15 year life span. It was moved to 50w in 2010 after being replaced by Intelsat 14 and has now been deactivated. Information courtesy of Wikipedia.

    sometime an old satelilte like that will be shifted to another slot just to retain the orbital slot for someone.
