The satellite remains operational, but Intelsat cannot control the spacecraft, which is drifting away from its orbital slot at 133 degrees West and east toward AMC-11, which is located at 131 degrees West. The two satellites operate on the same frequency, and Galaxy 15 could interrupt signals AMC 11 provides for the United States. \t<br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Beginning May 25, SES plans to have AMC-11 match the eastward drift of Galaxy 15 in order to maintain a minimum separation between the two satellites. At the same time, SES will move its SES-1 satellite to the opposite side of Galaxy 15, and customers will either be able to maintain services on AMC-11 during its drift or repoint antennas to SES-1. \t<br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; SES estimates that the risk of interference will end June 7, when Galaxy 15 exits the orbital slot. \t<br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &#8220;This extraordinary technical initiative underscores our commitment to finding innovative solutions to minimize the impact of an unexpected event like this on our customers,&#8221; Alan Young, CTO for SES World Skies, said in a statement. &#8220;A team of our best engineers and scientists is working around the clock to ensure the success of this unprecedented mission.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[05-18-10] SES World Skies will perform orbital maneuvers and shift from signals to keep cable programming broadcast by the AMC-11 satellite from being interrupted by Intelsat\u2019s Galaxy 15 satellite, SES announced May 17. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Galaxy 15 experienced an anomaly April 5 following a solar storm.
