Intelsat 505, previously named Intelsat V F-5, was a communications satellite operated by Intelsat. Launched in 1982, it was the fiveth of fifteen Intelsat V satellites to be launched. The Intelsat V series was constructed by Ford Aerospace, based on the Intelsat-V satellite bus.

Intelsat V F-5 was part of an advanced series of satellites designed to provide greater telecommunications capacity for Intelsat's global network. He also carried a Maritime Communications Services (MCS) package for Inmarsat. The satellite was deactivated on August, 1999.

The satellite was successfully launched into space on September 28, 1982, at 23:17 UTC, by means of an Atlas SLV-3D Centaur-D1AR vehicle from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida, United States. It had a launch mass of 1,928 kg.[4] The Intelsat 505 was equipped with 4 Ku-band transponders more 21 C-band transponders for 12,000 audio circuits and 2 TV channels.
