## Why It Matters
Intelsat V F-6 matters because it is part of the global class of communications satellites that enable long-distance telecommunication functions. Communications satellites are the infrastructure that supports international telephone, television, and data transmission; any individual satellite in that class contributes to the global telecommunications network by providing relay, routing, or broadcasting capability. The documented launch on 19 May 1983 from Cape Canaveral using an Atlas-Centaur vehicle situates this satellite within the operational history of 1980s space launches and the deployment of geostationary and other communications assets. Identifiers such as COSPAR ID 1983-047A and satellite catalog number 14077 provide persistent references for tracking, cataloging, and research. For researchers, historians, and engineers, these concrete data points (launch date, launch site, launch vehicle, and registry identifiers) are essential for cross-referencing mission records, orbital catalogs, and technical archives.
