Eutelsat Quantum and Star One D2

[william-1]

Quantum to be located at 48° East, and due to enter service during the fourth quarter of calendar 2021, EUTELSAT QUANTUM will offer extensive coverage of the MENA region and beyond.

any know position testing iot signal
?
will be multi beam

 

[william-1]

As there is currently no operational Ku band satellite @ 48e east it will probably test here,
Feedback from members as to what reception beams they can receive will help.

 

[Channel Hopper]

The main point of the Quantum bird is to give the uplink operators complete control on signal strengths and footprints, so expect to lose some content once the transponders are populated.

eutelsat quantum solar panels White heavy check mark and reflector White heavy check mark have been successfully deployed Satellite Post-launch maneuvers are performing according to plan. Congratulations to the team!

 

[Analoguesat]

Id be surprised if there is much (any?) broadcast content on the Quantum bird.

Eutelsat Quantum just tested @ 48°E
5 transponders 10950 to 11200 Vertical this was only for about 10 sec observed with the Spectrum analyser on the TM5302HD.

 

[william-1]

Test carriers observed @ 48°E

 

[hvdh]

Eutelsat Quantum testing location is 47.7°E.
There are now wideband noise signals centered about 11260V, 11775V, 12125V, 12245H. They are not very strong.

 

[william-1]

Current transponder activity @ 11:00 hrs

 

[italy2006]

with afghanistan in crisis, it seems that afghan beam will be without channels.

 

[hvdh]

Carriers seen until now:
11262V
11730H, 11830H, 11930H, 12240H
11780V, 11980V, 12130V
Interpreting the Eutelsat brochure, the ranges are:
Uplink 13.0...13.25 to downlink 11.2...11.45 GHz
Uplink 13.75...14.8 to downlink 11.7...12.75 GHz

 

[tempo]

Four test carriers are active atm:
11727 H
11776 V
11977 V
11830 H (or 11829 H)

 

[william-1]

Much stronger signals today.

 

[tempo]

Additional test carriers:
12030 H
12126 V
