Unlikely they will make July unless its right at the end - it will take about 3 months for the failure review oversight board to report back after Baikonur dropped AM4R onto the Kazakh steppes at several hundred miles an hour...

Where will AM6 go?

Both adonis1 and solly mentioned here after the failed launch of Express-AM4R, that Express-AM6 will go to 80° East, instead of the originally planned 53° East location.
 
Ah, thanks - I am blind.

Kind of relieved it's not going to 53E as AM6 has some footprints that aim squarely at Russia... which would mean a loss of some channels in UK...
 


Spacecraft "Express-AM6" arrived to Baikonur .
 
all 3 band ku band c and l band will be 72 transponder and 11 antennans
 
Launch it was rescheduled from 15 , to the end of July.
