Intelsats Galaxy 15 satellite has lost communication with ground control and is moving "cross orbits" out of control at 36000KM.
The satellite had been a slot at 133 degrees when apparently an intense solar storm damage the satellite. The satellite itself is fully functional just out of control. The first threatened satellite is AMC-11 which controllers are attempting to move as far out of Galaxy 15's path without losing contact with its customer.
