Astra 2E launch may be delayed (Proton M Launch Failure: Merged)

[Br492]

If they use receiving pattern like Amos then we will be out of everything.middle east spot is useable only at south and southeast Greece,and Central European footprint is watchable at western ,north western Greece.at the middle and because of the reuse of frequencies it is impossible or matter of luck to receive anything ( interference from both spots).so British expats will turn in other ways (ip) for receiving tv

The satellite will be tested at 43.5° East.

 

[Captain Jack]

SES love 43.5E...

 

[solly]

again will be testing 43.5e ?

 

[Marcus_21]

Taken from this document, " The permanent orbital location for Astra-2E, which is licensed by Luxembourg, will be 28.2° E.L. The in-orbit testing location will be 43.5° E.L. "

 

[solly]

it greate news for us again testing signal over 43.5e

 

[solly]

after read document it mean band eurobird low 11ghz and astra 1n,2a
also testing signal to 12,5 ghz

 

[Marcus_21]

The frequencies mentioned herein refer to the telecommand and telemetry for transfer to orbit.

 

[solly]

the low band d 10,7 to 10,.9 not report yet signal test

Anyone got a link to the ILS launch document, if one has been made available yet??

 

[Captain Jack]

What's the launch vehicle for this?

 

[Marcus_21]

Proton Briz-M.

 

[Captain Jack]

Let's hope the Russkies don't screw up....

You mean let's hope the Kazaks don't screw it up as many in Moscow that want all there Sky channels back

With the tighter beams I would have thought Moscow would have ended up with less channels not more!

I think only Astra 2G will help get some channels back, assuming Sky use this satellite. Astra 2E and 2F are not good for Russia.

 

[Captain Jack]

I think 2F Euro beam is still receivable in parts of Russia - at least that's what I've seen on some Russian forums.
