Intelsat 33e: Loss in Orbit Hits Satellite Service Across Half the World​

An Intelsat satellite is thought to have been destroyed in its orbit around the Earth, affecting satellite service worldwide.

The satellite, named Intelsat 33e or IS-33e, lost power on October 19 due to an "anomaly," impacting users across Europe, Central Africa, the Middle East, Asia and Australia.

The satellite, which has only spent eight years in geostationary orbit thus far, was confirmed by the U.S. Department of Defense's space-tracking platform SpaceTrack to have broken up on October 19.

"U.S. Space Forces-Space (S4S) has confirmed the breakup of Intelsat 33E (#41748, 2016-053B) in GEO on October 19, 2024, at approximately 0430 UTC," a SpaceTrack alert stated.

"Currently tracking around 20 associated pieces – analysis ongoing. S4S has observed no immediate threats and is continuing to conduct routine conjunction assessments to support the safety and sustainability of the space domain."

IS-33e was a geostationary communications satellite. These satellites are widely used for telephone, internet, and mobile communication services and for broadcasting television and radio signals.

Geostationary satellites orbit the Earth at the same rotational speed as the planet, making them appear stationary from the ground. This allows ground antennas to maintain a constant connection without needing to track the satellite's movement.

Intelsat has said that they are in the process of moving IS-33e's services to other satellites.

This appears to be a repeat of another similar incident that happened in 2019 - of IS-29e, which was also a Boeing 702MP model. The power loss and subsequent explosion could possibly be related to the Li-Ion Batteries.
Boeing sources batteries from SAFT. It's a French company that's over 100 years old who make specialized high energy batteries for avaiation (including fighter aircraft), rail, marine & aerospace.
The past IS-29e failure was thought to be caused by a design error compounded by high solar activity or, possibly, by a micrometeor strike. It is thought that an electrical arcing/Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) event on the electrical harness (unfortunately located outside of Faraday Cage) impinged on a nearby propellant line causing a leak and explosion.

What's worse is that both the IS-29e and IS-33e were unisured. Intelsat hasn't continued the post launch plus one-year insurance and this will hurt them financially.
