The "total loss" of the communications satellite has affected Intelsat customers around the world.

The satellite's operator, Intelsat, has confirmed the "total loss" of iS-33e, which has affected customers in Europe, Africa and parts of the Asia-Pacific region. Separately, two astronauts have been stranded at the International Space Station (ISS) after the Boeing Starliner capsule they arrived on in June was deemed unfit to make the return flight. Since last month, Boeing has also been dealing with a strike involving more than 30,000 workers at its commercial plane making operation.
