Fly-by Procedure Preparations

Intelsat is sharing Galaxy 15 information, relaying fly-by lessons learned from previous passes, and assisting neighboring satellite operators with interference mitigation planning.

Intelsat continues to perform ranging maneuvers on a routine basis to confirm that the Galaxy 15 satellite is stable and traveling a predictable path. Note that there is no risk of a physical collision with other spacecraft that are in the path of Galaxy 15.

For all fly-bys, receive station engineers play a vital role in the success of these plans. Below are some recommended actions to take:

• Ensure your receive antenna is properly peaked at the center-of-box of the satellite from which you are receiving signals. In general, this interference elimination strategy is based on all receive antennas being peaked at the center-of-box at all times during the fly by.
• If you are an affiliate, ensure you have updated your emergency technical contact information with your service provider. They, not Intelsat, will be your main contact for information regarding their services.

Intelsat remains committed to delivering accurate and timely information regarding the Galaxy 15 situation. We will continue to provide up-to-date information regarding any potential interference Galaxy 15 may cause as it continues to drift East.
