Comments: INTELSAT 19 is a geostationary satellite located at 166-degree East longitude to provide video broadcasting and telecommunications services across Southeast Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Alaska and Hawaii. It replaces Intelsat 8, which was launched in 1998 aboard a Russian Proton rocket under the name PAS 8 for PanAmSat and later joined Intelsat through a fleet merger. Intelsat 19 was built by Space System/Loral using the 1300E high-powered satellite platform. The 12,300-pound (5,579-kg) craft is equipped with a communications payload consisting of 34 Ku-Band and 24 C-band transponders, a pair of power-generating solar wings spanning 85 feet (25.9 m) and a life expectancy exceeding 15 years.
