Experienced a multi-hour glitch on 9 Jan 2008 because of a control system problem.

An onboard computer seemed to have failed on 8 Jun 2008 but control of the satellite could be regained in October 2008... by discharging entirely the batteries. Only part of the components were reactivated. The satellite failed again on 26 Nov 2008.

The kazakh goverment announced the insurance has repaid the satellite entirely in 2011.
