Oh that's to bad, XM-1 XM-2 and XM-3 don't want to flare up:)

That's great news to me, as they use a different type of antenna, then Galaxy 11 ( 26038 ) and Intelsat 1R ( 26608 ). XM-1 ( 26761 ) and XM-2 ( 26724 ) both have the angled reflector panels, and XM-3 ( 28626 ) doesn't have the angled reflector panels.

So to me, it's the different type of antenna's fault, for the flaring I have observed from Galaxy 11 and Intelsat 1R. That's my story and I am sticking to it:) 

Kevin
