— SES has canceled two satellites Intelsat ordered before being acquired by the Luxembourg-based multi-orbit operator, joining France's Eutelsat in pulling back from geostationary orbit expansion plans drawn up just a few years ago.
The company canceled the IS-41 and IS-44 satellites ordered from Thales Alenia Space as part of Intelsat's post-bankruptcy growth plan in 2022, the same year Eutelsat tasked the European manufacturer to build Flexsat Americas, before recently scrapping the program to curb GEO spending.
