Comments: The Galaxy 19 satellite will use an onboard engine to reach a circular geostationary orbit 22,300 miles [35,800 km] above the equator where it can match Earth's rotation and seem parked over one spot of the globe. That slot will be 97 degrees West longitude where it will replace the 11-year-old Galaxy 25 spacecraft, formerly known as Telstar 5.
