## Satellite

The second of six Intelsat VIII satellites to be launched, Intelsat 802 was built by Lockheed Martin. It was a 3,447-kilogram (7,599 lb) spacecraft. The satellite carried a 2xLEROS-1B apogee motor for propulsion and was equipped with 38 C Band transponders and 6 Ku band transponders, powered by 2 solar cells more batteries.[3] It was designed for a fourteen-year service life.[4]

## Launch

The launch of Intelsat 802 made use of an Ariane 4 rocket flying from Guiana Space Centre, Kourou, French Guiana. The launch took place at 01:07 UTC on June 25, 1997, with the spacecraft entering a geosynchronous transfer orbit.[1] Intelsat 802 subsequently fired its apogee motor to achieve geostationary orbit.
