The Intelsat Galaxy-32 (G-32) at 92° West is a GEO communications satellite operated by satellite operator Intelsat and is replacing Galaxy 17 at 91° West. The Intelsat Galaxy-32 at 91° West will provide service continuity for distribution to cable head-ends throughout the USA. With full C-band capabilities in addition to steerable Ka-band and Ku-band beams, Intelsat Galaxy-32 (G-32) at 91° West is part of a comprehensive plan to upgrade the entire Intelsat Galaxy fleet.
The G-31 and G-32 satellites are the newest additions to the Intelsat fleet and were both built by Maxar Technologies in the USA, after being selected by Intelsat in 2020. Both satellites will operate in the upper portion of the C-band spectrum, which is a range of wireless radio frequencies used for telecommunications and data connections around the world. The satellites are the next satellites in Intelsat’s comprehensive Galaxy fleet refresh plan, a new generation of technology that will provide Intelsat Media customers in North America with high-performance media distribution capabilities and unmatched penetration of cable head-ends. It is critical to Intelsat’s U.S. C-band clearing strategy.
G-32 replaced Galaxy 17 at 91° West when it was put in service in late 2023. This satellite will serve as the new restoration payload for Intelsat’s Galaxy cable distribution customers, allowing the previous restoration role at 91° West to be converted to a core cable distribution satellite.
G-31 and G-32 were orbited in a dual launch on November 12th, 2022 on a Falcon 9 rocket operated by launch provider SpaceX from the Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, USA.
