Anik F1 is a television satellite in the Anik series of the Canadian satellite operator Telesat Canada . The satellite was on 21 November 2000 with a carrier rocket of the type Ariane 44L from Kourou in French Guiana launched into space.
The Anik F1 developed by Boeing Satellite Systems is based on the Boeing 702 satellite bus , weighs 4710 kg and was originally designed for an operating time of 15 years. In 2012, however, it was assumed that the satellite would remain operational until 2022 . The satellite has a manufacturing defect, which was the reason for a legal dispute between Telesat and Boeing that lasted for years. Due to this error, it is possible that some transponders will have to be switched off in order to save energy.
reception
The satellite can be received throughout South America . The transmission takes place in the C and Ku bands .
