Talk:Iridium 33

Question
What the hell did it do, since it was operational up until the crash? Was it needed or was it extra? Is it to be replaced? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.139.170.143 (talk) 01:54, 13 February 2009 (UTC)


 * It provided voice and data services to the coverage footprint below it as well as relaying data to ground stations and other satellites in the same plane. It was in active service and will need to be replaced with one of the few in-orbit spares Iridium has left. Towel401 (talk) 00:53, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

What was the orbit of this satellite? The listed one is hundreds of kilometers below the collision altitude. 98.207.127.214 (talk) 23:18, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
