The Koreasat 5 (Mugungwha 5) satellite stationed at the 113.0°E orbital slot, suffered an anomaly with the attitude control system and had to be shut down for several hours.
Koreasat 5 was launched on the 22nd August, 2006, and is South Korea's first combined civil and military communications satellite.

Korean Military Launches New Satellite System
The Korean military will be able to remotely command its vessels and aircraft operating thousands of kilometres away from the country thanks to a new satellite communications system.
The system will cover a diameter of 12,000 km, ranging as far east as the Marshall Islands and west as the Strait of Malacca, and from northern Australia to northern Siberia.
The Agency for Defence Development (ADD) said Tuesday that it has completed the development of the military satellite communications system which began in 1996. It is the first such system built by Korea and will be put into service this month using the Mugunghwa-5 satellite, which was launched in August of last year.

The mission ended with spacecraft separation from the Block DM upper stage, placing the Koreasat 5 communications satellite into a Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit.
A ground station in Fucino, Italy, acquired the spacecraft signal shortly after spacecraft separation. All systems are operating nominally.
