Well here it is then, a tweet by Boeing, retweeted by SES, 5 days ago:
#Boeing satellites are built to last: SES A1E #satellite retired after 19.6 years.

The depressing thing is it was 20 years ago 1E was launched... and it seems like just the other year I was eagerly waiting for 1B to come on air.
