Galaxy-11 has arrived at 60.1°E, finally after half a year of travel!
Covers 11.7...12.2 GHz, for those who want to find some signals, but probably not beaming into Europe.

Galaxy-11 left 60.1°E a few days ago, and is on its way to 45.0°E after all!
There's no hurry: with the current pace, arrival end of October.

Since arrival at 45.0°E, Galaxy-11 has not shown any activity AFAIK, maybe just a backup for the ageing Intelsat 12.
Today, Intelsat issued the annual "Form 20-F", that always contains an interesting fleet list with the expected End-Of-Life dates.
SEC Filings | Intelsat
Scroll down to the 20-F row, to the right is a link to a downloadable pdf.
Fleet list (as of Dec 31, 2016) starts on page 42.
Intelsat 12 life expectancy has increased from 2017 Q1 to 2017 Q4.
Apparently, the expected move of Intelsat 904 from 60.0°E to 45.1°E is not so urgent any more.
The ephemeris that looks a few weeks into the future, does not show a move yet.
However, Intelsat 12 is allowed to build inclination, at the moment 0.25° already.
Some other remarkable changes in this year's Form 20-F:
Lifetime of 29.5°W Intelsat 701 (of 1993, one of the oldest GEO comsats still alive!) was decreased from 2018 Q4 to 2017 Q2.
Lifetime of 43.1°W Intelsat 9 was increased from 2017 Q3 to 2019 Q3.
Intelsat 9 is expected to replace Intelsat 701 at 29.5°W, probably after the move to, and in-service, of the new Intelsat 32e at 43.1°W.
Lifetime of 64.25°E Intelsat 26 was increased from 2017 Q1 to 2020 Q2.

Ouch! This isn't the first time, seems a new month needs a few days to penetrate my brain!
