Intelsat 28 Overview
Intelsat 28, initially named New Dawn, is a communications satellite managed by Intelsat. It operates from a geosynchronous orbit located at 33 degrees east longitude, delivering television and broadband communication services across Africa.
Manufactured by Orbital Sciences Corporation, Intelsat 28 utilizes the STAR-2 satellite bus architecture. After its 2011 deployment, the satellite encountered an issue where one antenna failed to extend properly, which compromised a portion of its C-band payload and consequently shortened the expected service duration.
