Palapa is a series of communication satellites owned by Indosat, an Indonesian telecommunication company. All the satellites were launched by the United States, starting with the first in July 1976, at which time Indonesia became the first developing country to operate its own domestic satellite system.

Intelsat 24, previously Amos-1, is a commercial communication satellite which is operated by Intelsat. It was previously operated by Spacecom as Amos-1 and formed part of the AMOS series of satellites. It was the first Israeli civilian communications satellite and was initially positioned at 4° West longitude in geostationary orbit. It has since been moved to 47.3 degrees East.
