Faulty Command Disrupts Mexican Satellite Service (Space News, 03-13-00)

Thnaks to Phillips telecon.

Jeff Vayda

The SatMex 5 communications satellite was out of service for 84 minutes
March 3 after a computer on the ground sent the geostationary spacecraft an errant
command. Controllers were preparing the Hughes Space & Communications
Co.-built model HS 601HP spacecraft for the upcoming solar eclipse period when
the satellite shut down in response to the faulty command. The satellite is again
operating normally. (Not available on the web)
