[QUOTE="Fisty McB, post: 933726, member: 389824"] This satellite is intended to replace the current Telstar 12 satellite at 15 degrees west, and due to be launched later this year (firm date pending) From a press release in 2013... [url]https://www.telesat.com/news-events/telesat-orders-high-throughput-satellite-replace-telstar-12-and-expand-capacity-15[/url] Telesat's info on this satellite is available at [url]https://www.telesat.com/our-fleet#telstar-12v[/url] Looking at the planned footprints, one interesting beam is a "North Sea" Ku beam that is high powered covering the UK, Ireland and much of Scandinavia within a 56dbW contour. There are also several other high-powered Ku band spot beams targeting different areas stretching down from the western Mediterranean towards the Middle East. Thinking out loud here, with Intelsat 907 about to reach its end-of-life soon at 27.5 west, could the Freeview "Satback" backup from there move to 15 west some time next year on the North Sea beam, assuming Telstar 12V successfully launches?
