Yamal 101

Designation 25896 / 99047A
Launch date 6 Sep 1999
Country of origin CIS
Mission Telecommunications
Geostationary orbit should have gone to 49°E
Launch vehicle Proton #269

Warning: Norad initially mixed up the satellites and named object 25897 / 99047B Yamal 101. That shoud have been Yamal 102. They changed their mind in Sep 2000 and swapped the catalog numbers. This is very confusing.

Insurance paid $50 million for the failure.

End of life

Cause Ran into problems right after launch. Lost control? No communication?
