Intelsat 702 (also known asIS-702 andIntelsat 7-F2) is ageostationarycommunicationsatellite that was built bySpace Systems/Loral (SSL). It is located in the orbital position of 32.9 degrees east longitude and it is currently in aninclined orbit. The satellite is owned byIntelsat. The satellite was based on the Loral FS-1300 platform and its estimated useful life was 15 years.
The satellite was successfully launched into space on June 17, 1994, at 07:07:19 UTC, using anAriane 44L vehicle from theGuiana Space Center inFrench Guiana, together with the satellitesSTRV 1A andSTRV 1B.[1] It had a launch mass of 3,695 kg.[2]
The Intelsat 702 is equipped with 26 transponders inC band and 10 inKu band to provide broadcasting, business-to-home services,telecommunications, VSATnetworks.[3]
In September 2016, the satellite reached end-of-life and was retired to a graveyard orbit.[4] Intelsat 17, another Space Systems Loral satellite, assumed its communications role after delivery to orbit in late 2010.[5]
