SKY BRASIL 1 is a commercial broadcast geostationary satellite owned by DirecTV Latin America, designed to cover Brazil with high-definition television broadcast capacity from a position along the equator at 43.1 degrees west longitude. The satellite, fitted with 60 Ku-band transponders, weighs more than 13,000 pounds (about 6 metric tons) with a full load of fuel. Expected to operate for at least 15 years—and with enough fuel for more than 20 years — SKY BRASIL 1 (a.k.a. Intelsat 32e) will replace the aging Intelsat 9 satellite currently occupying the 43.1 degrees west location, and augment services currently provided by the Intelsat 11 spacecraft in the same geostationary slot.
