WASHINGTON — A 19-year old SES satellite lost nearly a third of its transponders in an anomaly this month, marking the second major satellite malfunction in the SES fleet this year.

NSS-806, a C- and Ku-band telecommunications satellite from Lockheed Martin, is still serving customers despite being seven years past its intended design life. However, 12 transponders ceased functioning this month, SES said July 28, without specifying which frequencies.

A general request - please dont cut & paste entire articles from other commercial web sites - it robs them of their advertising revenue and can cause bad feelings. A couple of paragraphs then a link to the story is great - anyone interested can go to the site and read the story and see whatever adverts are being served up by that site.

Anything published as a press release from an organisation (eg SES or Eutelsat) is fine, but its always useful to stick a link in to the story anyway so we know its a press release.
