'''Galaxy 3C''' (or '''Galaxy 13''') is a [[communications satellite]] operated by [[PanAmSat]] from 2000 to 2006, and by [[Intelsat]] from 2006 to today. It spent most of its operational life at an orbital location of 95° W. Galaxy 3C was launched on June 15, 2002, with a Зенит 3SL [[Zenit (rocket family)|Zenit]] launch vehicle, from 154°w, 00°s, and covered [[North America]] & S. America (optional) with twenty-four transponders each on the [[C band (IEEE)|C-]] and sixteen in [[Ku band|K<sub>u</sub> band]].
