Sirius 1 (derelict)
Sirius 1 started out life as MarcoPolo 1 (BSB1) and was launched on August 27, 1989
Marcopolo 1 was acquired in-orbit from the mothballed BSB (British Satellite Broadcasting) by Nordiska Satellitaktiebolaget in 1993, and operated as Sirius 1 @ 5e until 2000. It later moved to 13 W (Incined Orbit) , and renamed Sirius W. It was put into junk orbit in May 2003

Re: Sirius 1 (derelict)
In May 2000 Sirius 1 was withdrawn from 5E and sent out over the Atlantic to 13W. She was renamed Sirius W for the new mission. She was junked in mid 2003
