About Telstar 14R
46 active Ku-band transponders, of which 27 will be fixed and 19 switchable covering Brazil, the Continental United States (including the Gulf of Mexico and northern Caribbean), the Southern Cone of South America, the Andean region (including Central America and southern Caribbean), and the North and Mid-Atlantic Ocean. The satellite failed to fully deploy its north solar panel and will likely be able to use 60 percent of its capacity and operate for 12 years in orbit
