Intelsat 36 		10,735 kg GTO Intelsat Success
Intelsat 33e's LEROS apogee engine, which supposed to perform orbit raising, failed soon after its successful launch, forcing to use the experimentation of low-thrust reaction control system which extended the commissioning time 3 months longer than expected.[6] Later, it suffered other thruster problems which cut its operational life time for about 3.5 years.[7]

589 		Kourou
ELA-3 		Koreasat 7

ELA-3 		SES-14 with GOLD
Al Yah 3 		9,123 kg Super-GTO SES, NASA
AlYahsat 		Partial failure
Telemetry from the launch vehicle was lost after 9 minutes 30 seconds into the flight, after rocket trajectory went off course due to invalid inertial units' azimuth value.[14] Satellites later found to have separated from the upper stage and entered an incorrect orbit with large inclination deviations.[15][16] However, they were able to reach the planned orbit with small loss of on board propellant for SES-14 and still expected to meet the designed life time,[17] but with significant loss on Al Yah 3 (up to 50% of its intended operational life).[18][19]
