1Three-axis stabilization is a method of spacecraft attitude control in which the spacecraft is held fixed in the desired orientation without any rotation. This is often used for communications satellites, often those with large solar panels on each side of the spacecraft.
2This Intelsat-5-5 cover was canceled on 1982-10-28 (October 28), instead of the launch date 1982-09-28 (September 28) as noted in the rubber-stamp cachet.
