Galaxy 15 Completes Galaxy 23 Fly-by

On 26 August, Intelsat completed its Galaxy 15 fly-by of Galaxy 23. Intelsat wishes to thank its customers on Galaxy 23 for their active participation and cooperation during this unprecedented event.

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.

Intelsat now is offering its assistance to Telesat Canada as Telesat prepares for its upcoming fly-by maneuver. On 9 September, Galaxy 15 is expected to reach its closest proximity to Telesat’s Anik F3 satellite. Given that each customer network is configured differently and each fly-by has its own technical considerations, Intelsat is working closely with Telesat, sharing technical and operational information while providing support as Telesat implements its fly-by maneuver and appropriate interference mitigation efforts.
