XM’s ‘Roll’ in Position

XM Satellite Radio’s second satellite, “Roll,” has been handed over to XM by Boeing
Satellite Systems and has begun broadcasting. Roll has reached its final position in geostationary orbit at 85 degrees West Longitude.
XM took possession of Roll last week, after the spacecraft completed in-orbit testing. The satellite has begun broadcasting XM’s channels as part of the preparation for XM’s commercial launch later this summer.
