A worker puts the finishing touches on Echostar 5.
Echostar 5 and 6 were originally named Sky 1 and 2 for the MCI-News Corp. venture called American Sky Broadcasting. In 1999, they were sold to Echostar with gear, broadcast license and three years of rights to Fox rebroadcasts for $1.25 billion. It's now part of the Dish Network.
