Telesat’s Anik F3 satellite was carried into orbit aboard a Proton rocket, Telesat and International Launch Services (ILS) announced April 10.
The spacecraft, manufactured by EADS Astrium, is equipped with 32 Ku-band and 24 C-band transponders to provide broadcasting and telecommunications services throughout North America and also carries a Ka-band payload to supplement services being carried on the Anik F2 satellite, Telesat said.
Telesat will take possession of Anik F3 after the satellite has completed in-orbit testing.
