This econd satellite was required by the Independant Broadcasting Authority (IBA) franchise conditions to serve as a back-up for the satellite Marcopolo 1. Unlike the launch of Marcopolo 1 a year earlier, only one person from BSB was sent to Florida to watch the launch, asa by this time the money at BSB was drying up.
