* Lockheed Martin Intersputnik (LMI), a joint venture of Intersputnik and Lockheed Martin Corporation, was established in June 1997 for the purpose of launching and operating advanced telecommunications satellites. Within the framework of this JV, LMI procured and launched the LMI-1 satellite. Since that moment Intersputnik has been responsible for sales of LMI-1 capacity. In September 2006, LMI Ltd. of Lockheed Martin Corporation was bought by Asia Broadcast Satellite (ABS), and the LMI-1 satellite was re-named ABS-1. Under an agreement with ABS, Intersputnik continues to market and sell ABS-1 satellite capacity.
