Looks like it is official. This in Space News today: Orion 2 Builder Shifts From Matra to SS/L Space Systems/Loral (SS/L) has replaced Europe's Matra Marconi Space as prime contractor for Loral Orion's Orion 2 communications satellite, which will be redesigned. Loral, SS/L's parent company, bought Orion in March. The redesigned satellite will feature eight more transponders, improved switching and a longer life. The spacecraft will be launched in May 1999.
