Galaxy 17 is a communications satellite owned by Intelsat to be located at 91° W longitude, serving the North American market. Galaxy 17 was intended to replace SBS 6. It was built by Thales Alenia Space.[1]
Galaxy 17 was launched by Arianespace from Kourou, French Guiana on an Ariane-5 rocket along with Astra 1L. It became operational at 74°W and replaced SBS-6 which was shut down. This took place on July 7, 2007. Galaxy 17 began its move to 91°W when Horizons-2 was launched and placed in the 74° slot. Horizons-2 was originally slated to replace SBS-6 but the launch was delayed, possibly due to the delayed repairs of the Sea Launch vessel.
Galaxy 17 is the first primarily European satellite to cover the U.S. Built by a French/Italian manufacturer, it was launched on a French rocket from a French spaceport. Galaxy 17 is scheduled to become operational again in mid July when it takes over current traffic of Galaxy 11.
