Intelsat to Move Intelsat 5 to Make Room for Telkom-2

Intelsat wants to move its Intelsat 5 satellite from 157 to 156.9 degrees east to make room for Telkom-2, it said in an FCC International Bureau filing Friday. Intelsat said Telkom-2 is expected to arrive at 157 degrees east in early June and Intelsat 5 relocation should start on April 30. The company in January sought bureau approval for authority to operate Telkom-2.
