Galaxy 27 is a communications satellite owned by Intelsat. It was at first located at 129° W longitude, serving most of the North American market.[1][2] It was built by Space Systems/Loral, as part of its FS-1300 line. Galaxy 27 was formerly known as Intelsat Americas 7 and Telstar 7.
Current clients for Galaxy 27 include StarBand and Talkstar Radio Network.[3]
This satellite experienced a several-day power failure in 2004 and returned to service with reduced capacity.[4]
In May 2011, Galaxy 27 was redeployed to 45.1° E longitude in order to expand Intelsat's services in Middle East and West Asia.
