National, April 17, 2000 -- Alcatel Space, Europe's leading satellite
exporter, today announced the completion and delivery to Hughes Space
& Communications Company of the first of two state-of-the-art
communications payloads for XM Satellite Radio (NASDAQ:XMSR). The
second payload is scheduled for delivery in May 2000.
The XM payload was manufactured and integrated onto its module at
Alcatel Space's Toulouse, France, facility. On Friday, April 14, 2000,
it was shipped to Hughes' spacecraft factory in El Segundo, CA, where
the 3,500-pound payload module will be integrated into Hughes' 702
spacecraft bus. Hughes Space & Communications (HSC), the world's
leading manufacturer of commercial communications satellites, will
conduct functional, antenna range and environmental testing on the
spacecraft in preparation for launch later this year.

Read it again 'tard!!!!! It's a Hughes 702 satellite in that article... Boeing
acquired Hughes in 2000... subsequent XM satellites are BOEING 702's....
