Eutelsat W2A - 10E

[Analoguesat]

W2A will launch in early 2009, and will replace W1 at 10E. She will carry a wideband Ku beam, an African C-band payload and interestingly an S-band payload to bring mobile TV services to Europe. There no coverage map for the S-band services yet, but heres the rest of the info.
