Finally, Intelsat clarifies that during the Eutelsat 172B IOT mission, Airbus will serve as the mission manager. Airbus will build and send the commands to the Intelsat antenna, which will process and execute the commands. Telemetry received by Intelsat will be forwarded to Airbus. Intelsat will perform the ranging sessions by sending a tone to the spacecraft periodically. Intelsat will remain in control of the baseband unit, RF equipment, and antenna. Grant of this STA request will allow Intelsat to help safely station—keep the Eutelsat 172B satellite during IOT. This, in turn, will help provide additional capacity from the 172° E.L. orbital location and thereby promotes the public interest.
