[6] The 5,576 kg (12,293 lb) satellite provides digital broadcasting, telephone, and broadband internet access to users in Europe, South America, Africa and the Middle East through its 36 Ku-band, and 70 C-band transponders after parking over 1° West longitude.

[6] Telenor uses half of the Ku-band capacity of the satellite, which is marketed as Thor 10-02.

[4] On 12 April 2021, Northrop Grumman's MEV-2 satellite successfully rendezvoused and docked to Intelsat 10-02.

MEV-2 will extend IS 10-02's service life by returning it to a proper geosynchronous orbit.

The two spacecraft will stay locked together for five years to extend the life of IS 10-02, which was running low on fuel after being in orbit since 2004.
