Mission
Intelsat K, Intelsats first Ku-band only satellite, was originally built as Satcom K4 for GE Americom, but was acquired in 1989 and required extensive payload modifications. It is a single spacecraft purchased to meet critical requirements for Ku-band capacity over the Atlantic region, driven primarily by international broadcasters.
