Success
AUG 24201622:16:01 UTCIntelsat 33e suffered a propulsion system failure shortly after launch: the primary thruster malfunctioned in September 2016, and a second anomaly in August 2017 further reduced its service life by approximately 3.5 years.
The satellite broke apart in geostationary orbit in October 2024, generating over 700 debris fragments and becoming a total loss.
