  Anik A 1, 2, 3
The Anik A satellites represent the first generation of a series of synchronous orbit communications satellites developed by Hughes Aircraft Company for individual nations to use within their territorial boundaries.
Three Anik A satellites were built for Telesat Canada, a corporation created in 1969 by the Canadian Parliament to establish and operate a domestic satellite communications system within Canada.
Anik A-1 was launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida, aboard a Delta rocket 9 November 1972.

With the launch of Telesat Canada's first Anik satellite in 1972, Canada became the first country in the world to have a satellite in geostationary orbit for the purpose of domestic (that is, non-military) communications.
Anik E2 was launched in April 1991, on board an Ariane rocket.
When Anik E1 was launched in September of 1991, it was to be the most powerful satellite in commercial use in all of North America.

 Anik A - The World's first domestic geostaionary communication satellite
Anik A was Canada's first domestic communications satellite (Anik is the Inuit's word for brother).
The Anik A design was based on the "bus" (frame) that Hughes had used for the Intelsat IV satellites.
Anik A operated in the 6/4 GHz bands (also referred to as C band), i.e.the uplink was at 6 GHz and the downlink was at 4 GHz.

 Telesat Chief Says He’s Done With Satellites in Size Class of Anik F2   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
The satellite is the designated replacement for the aging Anik E2 satellite, but its delays have forced Telesat to lease a spare satellite from rival PanAmSat Corp. to fill the job.
Anik F3 will have a small Ka-band payload intended only as a placeholder to preserve Telesat’s Ka-band rights at that orbital slot while the firm validates its satellite-Internet strategy using Anik F2, he said.
Whereas Anik F2’s individual spot beams all have the same capacity, the spot beams on the dedicated Ka-band satellite would be sized according to the specific markets they are intended to serve, Boisvert said.

The Breeze M upper stage and attached Anik F1R spacecraft are on a suborbital trajectory in preparation for the first of five planned firings by the upper stage to reach geosynchronous transfer orbit over the next 9 hours.
Anik F1R's on-board propulsion system will complete the task of circularizing the orbit to an altitude of 22,300 miles along the Equator, and controllers will later command the craft to fly into an orbital slot at 107.3 degrees West longitude over the eastern Pacific Ocean.
Anik F1R was built by the European EADS Astrium firm and is based on that company's E3000 design of the Eurostar family of satellites.
