Well there "WAS" a Galaxy 10, but apparently it exploded while being launched, so Galaxy 10r was it's replacement.
In general, the "r" sats are "replacements" (at least in TVRO nomenclature). I was confused because I didn't remember there ever being a Galaxy 10, so I just looked it up. All the TVRO sats that ever made it to orbit are still up there.
