The five-ton satellite was to have replaced two older Intelsat satellites over the Atlantic.

The radio is available online and via Intelsat satellite.

It broadcasts internationally through the Bardr 5 and Intelsat 902 satellites.

The transmission is available through Intelsat 17 satellite, besides live streaming of the programs can be seen at the website of the channel.

Capacity of an Intelsat satellite is used for domestic services.

Last year, after two tries to nab the Intelsat satellite with the robot arm, three astronauts had to grab it by hand.

Services were carried on the Intelsat 8 satellite.

The second launch occurred on 14 March, and carried the Intelsat 603 satellite.

The system, however, can only intercept civilian communications that are routed via Intelsat satellites.

The maiden flight was on 18 September 1968, and carried the Intelsat 301 satellite.
