I didn't know Loral had a lousy reputation in sat reliability. Could you expand on that? By the way, Loral didn't build the G* sats. The only troubles I know of involve the Tempo and PAS birds that received a bum set of solar arrays from DASA. Power problems plague them now. Those are the only two birds with those particular parts. Otherwise, SS/L is #2 sat manufacturer with a wide variety of clients. Intelsat seems to think they make a good product--they keep coming back for more.

Clark, my heart went pitty pat on the first part of your message and then went comatose on the second: what in the hell do you mean by LOR's notorious 2nd citizenship status re: bird quality? Hello, hello, we have to have a serious chat here. There are maybe 3 companies in the whole frigging world that can build quality birds and LOR is either 1 or 2 depending on your view of Hughes, Lockheed, or Boeing on any particular day of the week. Clarify your post--you are too good for me to believe you meant what you posted. Mike Doyle
