Intelsat has ordered two new GEO satellites from Thales Alenia Space. The Intelsat 41 and Intelsat 44 satellites, scheduled to enter service in 2025, will be based on Thales Alenia Space’s Space Inspire platform. The satellites will provide commercial and government mobility services and cellular backhaul across Africa, Europe, the Middle East and Asia, Intelsat said Wednesday. The new satellites are part of a post-restructuring growth strategy that could include the operator's own low Earth orbit constellation. Intelsat is expected to exit Chapter 11 bankruptcy early this year.
