May 25, 2017 |Satellite

The license term for Intelsat's Galaxy 3C satellite expires in September, but its expected end of service life is early 2023 if there's no inclined orbit operation, or possibly sometime in 2027 via inclined orbit operation, the company said in an FCC International Bureau authorization modification application filed Tuesday. Intelsat asked for an extension of Galaxy 3C's license term through June 30, 2026.
