7E (Eutelsat 7B/7C)

Eutelsat 3D is reported as moving east to 7 east where it will become Eutelsat 7B to join Eutelsat 7A,

Ku Band capacity will more than double to 91 Ku band transponders @ 7 east giving rise to new capacity to Europe & Africa + even More Feeds,

Eutelsat 3D was launched with Proton 2013-05-14.
Beacon frequencies: 11.698.600 H / 12.500.500 H / 21.402.000 H

All transponders @ 3 east now covered by Eutelsat 3B.

Oh, no: Bigger Memory required!
 
Eutelsat 3A is not needed @ 3 east now that 3B has taken over C band here,
So 3A is moving west in the opposite direction to 3D

EUTELSAT 3B satellite fully fired up at 3° East


Paris, 6 July 2014 – Following its successful launch on May 26, Eutelsat Communications (NYSE Euronext Paris: ETL) announces that the EUTELSAT 3B satellite is now fully fired up and providing commercial services at 3° East.
Eutelsat’s newest satellite is designed to increase and diversify capacity and reach of Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia and Brazil. The first commercial satellite to assemble Ku, C and Ka payloads in a single platform, it can operate up to 51 transponders through an innovative configuration that enables customers to select the frequency band most adapted to their applications and targeted service area.

Overnight transfer of customer traffic onto the new satellite from the two Eutelsat satellites already at 3° East (EUTELSAT 3D and EUTELSAT 3A) was completed in the evening of July 5.

Having completed their missions at 3° East both satellites will now be redeployed. EUTELSAT 3D is already on its way to 7° East where it will be copositioned with EUTELSAT 7A to increase capacity and in-orbit security for customers providing DTH, professional video, data and telecoms services in Europe, Turkey, the Middle East, Africa and Indian Ocean islands. It is scheduled to go into service at 7° East in mid-July at which point it will be renamed EUTELSAT 7B.

EUTELSAT 3A, will be relocated to 8° West until it is deorbited later in 2014.

Eutelsat Chairman and CEO, Michel de Rosen said: “With the full entry into service of EUTELSAT 3B we are further heightening the efficiency of our fleet and gearing new capacity towards our strongest growth markets. Clients providing services from our 3° East and 7° East orbital positions can now benefit from new satellites at the top end of the range in terms of flexibility, power and reach. Our thanks go to Airbus Defence and Space for building EUTELSAT 3B and working closely with us during the satellite’s first manoeuvres, and to Sea launch for a flawless launch.”

Ive discovered this afternoon the bloody trees have started to knock out 7E as well - until leaf drop Im down to about 4 of the higher power tp's :(
 
Anyone know if the turkish channels that are currently on 7A will move to 7B?

I ask this because they currently are on Europe B beam wich I get perfectly here, but on 7B acording to the oficial foothprint map, Europe B beam is weaker and don't cover my area wich means that I will lose most of the channels that are currently on Eutelsat 7A

7A may stay @ 7 east until 2016 when it comes to the end of it's useful life in a geostationary orbit @ 7 east http://www.flysat.com/e7a-info.php
7B will eventually replace 7A transponders @ 7 east as it has a higher capacity & only launched last year http://www.flysat.com/e7b-info.php
 
This one comes live every now and then.
I think that it is off 7E Flysat lists it as Data.
Lyngsat as a feed.

Good find! I was scanning this band myself just a couple of days ago and this signal was there, but it was just a data transmission as listed on flysat. Coming in at 10.3 dB here. I will report it to flysat so they can update their lists.
 
Yes there is always a good signal on the transponder.I don't often see the channel live.
10.6dB here

The feed also appears on the 7E KA beam at the same time (also in the early morning, about 1:00 AM.)
