Intelsat 19 is a television satellite operated by the satellite operator Intelsat .
It was launched into geostationary orbit on June 1, 2012 at 5:23 UTC by a Zenit 3SL launcher from the ocean platform "Odyssey" in the Pacific .
The three-axis stabilized satellite with 34 Ku-band - and 24 C-band - transponders fitted and is in position 166 ° East 8 Intelsat supplement which is to remain in service until of 2019. Intelsat 19 is to provide image and data services from its position in western North America, Australia, New Zealand and numerous islands in the Pacific as well as Southeast Asia and Japan. It was built on the basis of the 1300E satellite bus from Space Systems / Loral (SS / L) from Palo Alto in the USA and has a planned service life of 18 years. At first, only one of the two solar cell arms of Intelsat 19 could be deployed, which would mean a significant loss in the performance of the satellite. The second solar cell wing unfolded on June 12, 2012. However, it only delivers about half the amount of energy it should deliver.
On December 19, 2012, it became known that seldom coincident conditions in the production of the solar cell wing were responsible for an event occurring during the ascent of the rocket (before the payload fairing was detached) which led to the damage of a solar cell wing.
