Not the program I work for but the sat was built where I work in Sunnyvale California.
Quite often after some international incident many folks are quick to want one of OUR satellites look into it. Although this sat is a comm-sat you have to understand it isn't magic how these sats get into space. It takes a lot of time and money. But these same folks hate the government and paying the taxes it takes to have what we have. It ain't free to stay free.
Its a interesting video of a launch that happened Friday 24Jun16.
