The Russian bird AM1 (ex 40E) has finally been withdrawn from service and sent on her final journey to the graveyard orbit.

Shes a fairly new satellite - launched as recently as 2004, but I think AM1 suffered thruster system failure a few years ago and has been running inclined ever since..
So what is going to replace AM1? Theres nothing obvious moving towards 40E atm.
