DirecTV 5 was originally built as Tempo 1, but just prior to launch, TeleCommunications Satellite, Inc (TCI), and its partner PrimeStar, lost the orbital slot to MCI in an auction for a DBS FCC license, with MCI bidding US$682.5 million for the 110°W slot. Despite the loss of license, Tempo Satellite, Inc. (TSat) launched Tempo 2 on March 8, 1997, and parked the unused satellite, in the 118.8°W orbital slot. In 1999 DirecTV purchased both Tempo satellites, as part of its purchase of PrimeStar. Meanwhile, in 1998 TCI was acquired by AT&T. In August 2000, DirecTV renamed Tempo 2 to DirecTV 6, and Tempo 1 to DirecTV 5. Keyword(s) :
