Good God man. You are so full of WRONG INFORMATION that it is deplorable.. LOL! The "fourth satellite" as you call it is in ground storage and was delivered in April 2002.. (This is the one that my friends in Palo Alto at Loral dropped in the High Bay). There are no plans to launch the spare at this time. The GSO that has been ordered from SS/L currently has no home. No licensed Orbital Location. No assigned TT&C links, and No feederlink authorizations. This type of "contengent order" is common in the Fixed Satellite Manufacturing business.. Look at Wild Blue.. They ordered GSO Birds back in the later part of the nineties, cancelled, then renewed, and the first bird was finally launched in 2004. Obviously, you don't have a clue what you're talking about. This isn't the ground spare. This is a new GEO. They obviously expect to be awarded an orbital slot well in advance of the launch. This is the reason your posts have no credibility with those who know what they're talking about. Construction of the satellite is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2008. SIRIUS plans to launch the satellite on a Proton rocket under a contract previously announced between SIRIUS and International Launch Services (ILS). The satellite will be launched into a geostationary orbit to complement SIRIUS' existing three satellites, which were also manufactured by Space Systems/Loral and operate in a highly elliptical geosynchronous orbit. investor.sirius.com "This investment in next generation space technology will improve SIRIUS' already exceptional service experience," said Mel Karmazin, CEO of SIRIUS. "Not only will this satellite support our other three satellites currently in orbit, but it will also improve reception for all SIRIUS subscribers whether they are in their car, office, home or jogging in the park."
