Hey, its definitely dead - i have 75 modems pointed at AMOS 5 and they are all DOWN - no signal being received at all.
All we are getting from Spacecom is that they have no news about the AMOS 5 failure. We get a report from them every 2 hours - always the same message - they dont know why they have lost contact and they have no further news.
Our teleport reports that all transponders are down - there is no beacon being received - so earth station antenna tracking has stopped as well.

It not even transmits telemetry, is completely off.

Apparently the AMOS 5 satellite is still at 17 east, meaning the chances of it having catastrophically failed due to a collision with space junk is fairly low...
Amos-5 on station, but dead |
...Meanwhile Satelio is now broadcasting its service from Astra 4A.
Satelio moves from Amos-5 to Astra 4A

More of a derelict than a zombie. Wonder which way she will start to drift off station - there are a hell of a lot of European birds in the way if she starts heading east.

She has started heading westwards very slowly
Real time satellite tracking for: AMOS 5
Zoom in on the image and you will see the looping track heading west

Amos 5 is heading for 19E. -Astra 1L is the first one to have to get out of the way

Yeah, now is the time to fire the "all-is-lost-get-me-into-deep-space" system, which was installed as apart of the complying to international "put-a-bird-in-orbit" rules. The system is completely self-contained, and does not electrically connect the host system. The system removes the bird from the Clarke-belt, and thus removes it from being a threat to other multi-million dollar SAT-operations etc. It works like this: Thrusters with a wee tiny force accelerates the sat away from the earth, meaning that it will eventually disappear into space. The successful deployment and activation of the system insures that each SAT company does not have to payor cause any massive damages to other sat operators, causing either to go bankrupt.
I made that up, I'm afraid.
But just think of it - a rogue satellite that will clean up the Clarke Belt eventually??? It may start wandering, but it is still smack in the middle of the Clark belt, so it may cause some concerns being out of control...
