Excerpt: AMi14 is a communications satellite initially owned by SES Americom which was to have been placed in geostationary orbit, following launch by a Proton rocket. Built by Lockheed Martin and based on the A2100 satellite bus, AMi14 was to have been located at 61.5 west longitude and would have been used for DISH Network service. The satellite was placed in an unusable orbit, following a malfunction with the Briz-M upper stage of the Proton rocket. The satellite has been maneuvered to reach a geosynchronous orbit, during a period of more than 6 months, and is now at 35 East. The current owner is unknown. It was launched atop a Proton-M/Briz-M rocket at 23:18:55 GMT on 14 March 2008, from Li200/39 at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. AMi14 is based on the A2100AX platform, and included 32 Ku-band transponders which would have provided 24 MHz of bandwidth each. The spacecraft antenna were designed to operate over either of two orbital arcs: 61.5W to 77W or 110W to 148W. AMi14 also carries a demonstration payload that allows coverage to be reshaped on orbit. An anomaly occurred during the second burn of the Briz-M upper stage. As a result, the satellite failed to reach the planned orbit. The Russian commission investigating the anomaly determined the cause to be a rupture of the gas duct between the gas generator and the propellant pump turbine in the Breeze M main engine, which caused the upper stage engine to shut down two minutes early. AMi14 was the 36th A2100 spacecraft and was expected to provide more than 15 years of service life. SES and Lockheed Martin explored ways to attempt to bring the functioning satellite into its correct orbital position, and subsequently began attempting to move the satellite into ...
