[QUOTE="norm360, post: 811622, member: 389688"] Very interesting it is too, been reading a fair few articles up there, the ill fated launch of Astra 1K I didn't know about. That was an impressive bird 6 meters long. Yeah I know Sky needed the capacity. My question was really concerned about what decides the orbital position, why did Astra decide upon 28.2e, seems very specific. As far as the UK is concerned 5w to 1e have to be better orbital positions as they satellite sits higher in the sky, so less chance of obstruction interfering with reception. [/QUOTE]
