Telesat-D (Anik-B) is the first of a series of three (Telesat-D, -E, -F) second generation satellites developed for Telesat/Canada. These second generation satellites will replace three first generation HS-333 satellites (Telesat-A, -B, -C) developed for Telesat/CNADA AND LAUNCHED BY Delta 2914 vehicles in 1972, 1973, and 1975 and successfully placed in orbit as Anik-A1, -A2, -A3. The Telesat-D(Anik-B) satellite will be place in sync-transfer orbit by a Delta 3914 launch vehicle, currently scheduled for launch on December 15, 1978. The Telesat-E and -F(Anik-C1 and -C2) missions are scheduled for launch on the Space Shuttle in 1981 to replace the function of the Anik-A2 and -A3 (Telesat-B, and -C) satellites. The Anik-B will provide point-to-point voice, TV, and data communications traffic to Canada's ten provinces.
