    Here are some ideas:
    1. Payload got into the parking orbit, shed some debris trying to
    confuse the observers and sent a big decoy into a higher orbit while the
    satellite itself stayed in the parking orbit
    2. A problem during the transfer from the initial orbit to the higher
    orbit made it reach only the parking orbit, the problem was thought to
    be solved in 1.6 days, but during the transfer to the higher orbit an
    explosion occurred (or something like it...).
