Formerly the Eurobird 4 satellite (and before that Eurobird 10 & Hotbird 3), W76 is currently operating in inclined orbit at 76° East.

Only one footprint map released so far - which appears to be the widebeam payload. We know Hottie 3 lost one solar sail back in October 2006 so its quite possible theres insufficient power available to light up the superbeam.
