A somewhat forgotten bird now shes at 55E
Astra 1F has been placed at 55E for Gazprom Space Services. The technical info is below:
Orbital Position 55° E
Frequency Band Ku
Number of Transponders and Bandwidth, MHz 16x26
Polarization Linear
EIRPmax, dBW 52
Station Keeping Accuracy, deg. 0,1
Satellite Axes Orientation Accuracy, deg. 0,1
Launch Date April 8 , 1996
End of Fuel Lifetime 2020
24 year lifetime?? Thats a bit optimistic surely - although as she hasnt spend her life shuttling backwards & forwards around the arc maybe its possible.??
Presumably Gazprom have leased 1F as they have exclusive access to her until Yamal 402 goes into service.
The Y-402 coverage looks reasonably interesting
