Intelsat Aims to Relocate Intelsat 901

Intelsat wants to relocate its Intelsat 901 satellite from 18 degrees west to 29.5 degrees west once Intelsat 37e is launched and traffic is transferred to it. In an FCC International Bureau filing Thursday, it said 901 is expected to arrive at its new orbital slot, where it will collocate with Intelsat 9, in January. Intelsat 701 operated at 29.5 degrees west until it was prematurely deorbited in May, it said.
