A Galaxy satellite providing C-band distribution at 95°W — the heart of the US cable television orbital arc. Galaxy-35 joins its siblings at 95°W to ensure this prime position has ample spare capacity if any individual satellite fails. The redundancy of multiple Galaxy satellites at the same position reflects the critical importance of cable television distribution — a service interruption that cuts off cable programming nationwide would be economically and reputationally catastrophic for the broadcasters and cable operators depending on it.
