Communications, The Briz-M upper stage shut down prematurely on its final burn that caused the satellite reaching the slightly lower perigee than planned (31,307 km instead of the planned 33,799 km). The satellite was able to maneuvre itself into the planned operational geosynchronous orbit, with small loss of onboard propellant.
