29e had successfully passed the 30-day payload in-orbit testing (PIOT) and was undergoing the first performance testing with an anchor customer. It had been particularly challenging because it was the first digital configurable payload for Intelsat, and they had to also test the ground segment for the first time.<sup id="cite_ref-intelsat-news20160328_27-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-intelsat-news20160328-27"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>27<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>On 7 April 2019, the propulsion system of Intelsat 29e developed a fuel leak.
