[QUOTE="adonis1, post: 918768, member: 283005"] [B][SIZE=4][ATTACH=full]74319[/ATTACH] EUTELSAT 8 West B satellite in final stretch of manufacturing. [/SIZE][/B] [SIZE=4]New satellite for Middle East and North Africa broadcast markets to host new advanced features Dubai Paris, 9 March 2015 – The EUTELSAT 8 West B satellite of Eutelsat Communications (NYSE Euronext Paris: ETL) is in the final stretch of manufacturing and on track for launch by an Ariane 5 rocket in mid-2015. The 5.8 tonne satellite has finished launch environment tests and is now going through a final round of payload performance checks at Thales Alenia Space’s factory in Cannes. EUTELSAT 8 West 8 will be launched to the 7/8° West neighbourhood selected by over 1,000 TV channels to reach into an unmatched audience of 52 million homes. Eutelsat and Nilesat have progressively built a comprehensive broadcast infrastructure at this position, comprising satellites designed for Direct-to-Home reception in a vast footprint stretching from Morocco to the Gulf. Both operators have steadily brought new capacity on line to meet thriving demand for digital channels and the acceleration of High Definition Television. The next phase of expansion at the most popular neighbourhood in the Middle East and North Africa comes with EUTELSAT 8 West B. In addition to delivering increased Ku-band capacity for the MENA region and a pan-African payload in C-band, EUTELSAT 8 West B will host a new generation of advanced functions that will raise the bar of performance, flexibility and signal security. The new functions are focused on delivering three main benefits: Mitigating the effects of interference by increasing control over uplink frequencies to a satellite; Increasing the number of active channels by optimising a satellite payload’s use of the electrical power generated by its solar panels; Expanding options for repositioning satellites with frequency agile command receivers.
