601HP Satellite, Orion 3, in Orbit
Orion 3, a Hughes 601HP satellite, was to be delivered on-orbit via a Boeing Delta III rocket. The launch on May 4, 1999 was unsuccessful due to underperformance by the rocket booster and the satellite was left in a useless orbit. Hughes was to provide hardware and software to the Loral Skynet satellite control centers in Hawley, PA. and Three Peaks, CA.; to the primary telemetry tracking and control station in Kapolei, Hawaii; and to the backup control station near Seoul, South Korea. Orion 3, was to expand Loral and Communications Ltd.'s fleet and was the company's first satellite to serve the Asia-Pacific region. It would have provided business communications services to users in all major Asia-Pacific markets, including Korea, China, India, Japan, Australia, Southeast Asia, Oceania, and Hawaii.
