The arc is getting incredibly busy now. Can't go more than 2 degrees without stumbling on a satellite....

old hot bird 7,8 was 2 deg

 

[Sat Mark]

Why do Eutelsat keep putting satellites at 3E? Hot Bird 10 is already there with hardly anything on it and now they're launching Eutelsat 3D!? It seems like a huge waste.

maybe 3c move to order location after 3d enter to service

 

[<THOR>]

I guess they will retire Hotbird 6 and replace it with Hotbird 10. If the new bird has a successful launch.

 

[Marcus_21]

If the plans have not changed, Eutelsat 3C (Hot Bird 10) will provisionally at 8 ° West in anticipation of the launch Eutelsat 8 West B.

At the Baikonur Cosmodrome hosted removal of a space rocket "Proton-M" / RB "Breeze-M" / KA W3D (assembly and testing facility) for technical gas station.
On the eve of the Russian and foreign experts have completed testing of all components of the rocket, the head of the space to install a safety Thermocover.
Space rocket "Proton-M" was taken to the fueling position (TZP) pl.31 early this morning. At present, the technical staff of the MV Khrunichev Khrunichev and CB CTC conducts filling the tanks of a low-pressure booster "Briz-M".
After the completion of these works the State Commission will decide on the readiness of RKN to export and installation at the launch pad.

In accordance with the decision of the State Commission this morning launch vehicle "Proton-M" with the spacecraft W3D was moved to the launch pad at the Baikonur and installed the starter. It is let down by RCN service unit and attach occurs made ​​missiles to ground communications.
Experts Khrunichev. Khrunichev Space Agency and other businesses have started to work on the program of the first launch of the day.
Start ILV "Proton-M" - "Breeze-M»-W3D ​​is scheduled for May 14.

Prior to the launch of French telecommunications spacecraft W3D («Double S 3 D") is one day. At Baikonur launch complex systems conducted pre-launch test rocket "Proton-M" and ground equipment.
Tomorrow will be a meeting at Baikonur State Commission, during which issues relating to availability of space rocket "Proton-M" / RB "Breeze-M" / KA W3D for refueling propellants and launch.

The PR Announcer totty seems to have little idea of the meaning of many of the words in her script!

 

[Lazarus]

That rocket got off the pad a lot quicker than many I've watched - they often seem painfully slow to get going.

First Stage separation aok. All four Second stage burners aok.
