Lockheed Martin Commercial Launch Services is under contract to Intelsat Ltd. to place the Intelsat 14 (IS-14) spacecraft into an injected orbit, ultimately to be positioned at 315 degrees East. IS-14 was built by Space Systems/Loral and will provide high-powered video and data services through its C- and Ku-band payload, serving Intelsat customers throughout the Americas, Europe and Africa. The new satellite will replace Intelsat's IS-1R satellite, once it enters service. The spacecraft also carries a hosted payload for the Internet Router in Space, or IRIS program, for Cisco Systems.
