In a conference Tuesday morning, the Air Force's WGS program director, Col. Donald Robbins, said
initial operating capability for the first Wideband Global SATCOM satelliet is targeted for January 2009.

But the Army will begin using the high-powered satellite as early as April.

The satellite was built at Boeing's Satellite Development Center in El Segundo.

Mark Spiwak, Boeing's WGS program director, said: "Our on-orbit testing has confirmed that the satellite is fully functional in all regards."
