Some clever stuff from BMI ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ microspace.com Microspace Communications - Galaxy 4 Information Last evening, Tuesday, May 19, 1998, at approximately 6:00 pm EDT, the satellite operator, PanAmSat Corporation, experienced an anomaly within its on-board spacecraft control processor (SCP) on the Galaxy IV satellite. Tracking, telemetry and control of the satellite is maintained by the control processor and is fundamentally required to keep the satellite in its proper orbital position. At this time, Galaxy IV is not in its proper orbital position and we have been verbally advised that Galaxy IV at 99 degrees West longitude will not be placed back into service. Microspace has acquired replacement satellite capacity on Galaxy 3R. This satellite is located at 95 degrees West longitude and has very similar power levels. The frequencies of this satellite are the same as your existing receivers and, as a result, no adjustments to your receivers should be required. The uplink antenna equipment is now pointed at Galaxy 3R. You may begin repointing your remote antennas immediately. This replacement satellite capacity is located only four degrees from your present antennas. As a result, antenna repointing can be accomplished with relative ease by moving the antenna slightly to the east. In most locations, the antenna elevation is very close also.
