Intelsat 2 is a series of communications satellites developed from the earlier Intelsat 1 satellite, having improved communications capacity. The Intelsat 2 series were drum-shaped satellites, the outer surface being covered with 12756 solar cells delivering 85 watts of electrical power. The Intelsat 2 were equipped with a four-element bi-conical horn array aerial. The first Intelsat 2, Intelsat 2A was launched in 1966, but failed to go into the planned synchronous equatorial orbit over the Pacific due to a failure of the final stage rocket to complete firing. The satellite resulted in having an elongated orbit and was used for communications experiments.
Intelsat 2B, popularly known as Lani Bird, was successfully launched in 1967 and manoeuvred into a geostationary orbit east of the International Date Line above the equator in the Pacific.
Intelsat 2C, popularly known as Canary Bird, was launched in 1967 and placed in a geostationary orbit over the Atlantic just off the west coast of Africa.
The two successful Intelsat 2 satellites provided television and telephone communications facilities to two thirds of the world, and provided communications facilities to the US military and the NASA Apollo moon landing programme.
