October 6, 2020 |Satellite

Sirius XM's SXM-7 digital radio service replacement satellite is scheduled for a Nov. 6 launch, the company said in an FCC International Bureau request Friday. It asked for special temporary authority for in-orbit testing before the satellite's drift to its assigned orbital slot at 85.15 degrees west. SXM-7 will replace XM-3 at that location, it said.
