much stronger caries

There were two test carriers few minutes ago:
First one on ~11025 H, the second on 11161 H

I created a video of part of the tests interesting in Ku-band of 21 June.

I receive active testing on all operating frequency range during last 2.5 hours (also at the moment). The frequency of carrier is fast changing.

More spectrums

According today's TLE, Eutelsat 3B has arrived already near 3° East.

 

[hvdh]

Wow, the 3 East range 11450...11700 MHz has been totally rearranged, it's all different now!
So the transition from 3D to 3B must be ongoing.

 

[hvdh]

Crazyscans of 11450...11700 MHz.
Cut in 4 pieces because of small symbolrates. Hope not too many were missed!

Yes only 11496 H 3000 from 3D transponders left all the others replaced with new frequencies at this rate 3D will be on it's way to 7 east by the weekend

Yes, this afternoon already, Eutelsat tweeted:
#EUTELSAT3B satellite Ku and Ka-band payloads now fully fired up at 3° East. C-band to follow shortly.

So it might be that the whole 3D Ku-band has migrated already, and only 11450...11700 MHz had the total rearrangement.

Meanwhile, I have sorted that out, and found almost all previous programmes again.
Also a few new ones that are probably just long-lasting feeds.

TLE of this morning shows Eutelsat 3A has left 3.3°E, now 2.94°E, moving West with 0.3°/day.
Then also C-band must have been transferred to Eutelsat 3B.
Any C-band watcher noticed anything?

Well I have lost 3east cband, but I also went playing with my lnb.

3764 H 20328 from Eut.3A has moved to 3732R .

Thank you for that I will go and check.

Some really strong signal on the new satellite
Al Huja TV 11484 Vertical 1100 shows nearly 19dB !

 

[SatSearcher]

Most signals do seem a little stronger, although strangely a few seem weaker, the 2 multiplexes on 11534H & 11617H are both considerably weaker than before!

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.”
