T5 (formerly DirecTV-5) is a dormant communications satellite launched from Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan in May, 2002 to provide mainly Spanish language satellite television programs to DirecTV customers from the 119 degrees West longitudinal orbit. It was built by Space Systems/Loral, as part of its LS-1300 line. In May 2004, DIRECTV successfully launched DIRECTV 7S (later T7S), their second high powered spot beam. T7S is located at the 119 degree orbital slot. The satellite was renamed to T5 in 2017.
DIRECTV 5 (TEMPO 1) was lifted into orbit during the mission ‘Proton-K/DM-2M | DirecTV-5’, on board a Proton-K/DM-2M space rocket.
The launch took place on May 7, 2002, 5 p.m. from 81/24 (81P).
