I was talking about Intelsat 33e which
iswas a communication satellite, not for espionage, on a geostationary orbit. The russian espionage satellites Olymp-K and Kosmos 1408 mentioned in the other replies, however are/were on a geosynchronous orbit and on low earth orbit, respectively, as you suggested.-
Oh, okay. It's a funny name then.
-
Its named after the * International Telecommunications Satellite Consortium*
-
Oh yeah, I think I have heard that name before. (It's organization, though)
-
Obviously the naming is not consistent among the wikipedia articles in different languages:
Intelsat 33e war ein kommerzieller Kommunikationssatellit des International Telecommunications Satellite Consortium (Intelsat) mit Sitz in Luxemburg.
