PAS 1R (PanAmSat) was also ordered in August 1997. The satellite carries 72 active transponders: 36 in C-band and 36 in Ku-band. That is three times the capacity of PAS 1, the spacecraft it replaced. PAS-1R designed for an end-of-life power of more than 14 kW. The satellite provides coverage to four continents from its slot over the Atlantic Ocean. PAS-1R was launched in 2000 on board an Ariane-5G rocket.

Intelsat changed the name of the PAS satellites to Intelsat effective to 1. February 2007.

PAS 1R suffers from a generic failure of the early BSS-702 model: the fogging of the concentrator mirrors on the solar arrays leads to reduced available power.
