[image: SS/Loral 1300 satellite illustration (SS/Loral)] Space Systems/Loral
(SS/L) announced Friday that it has won a contract to build a new
communications satellite for Intelsat. SS/L will build Intelsat 14, a
1300-series spacecraft with 40 C-band and 22 Ku-band transponders. The
spacecraft is scheduled for delivery in 2009 and will be located at 45
degrees west longitude in GEO, replacing the existing PAS-1R satellite. SS/L
said that this contract was the first awarded to the company in 2007,
although SS/L announced a satellite contract and a deal to refurbish an
existing satellite for a new customer earlier this year.
