=====================================
With a change-out of equipment necessary on the VA 217 Ariane 5 ECA launcher, Arianespace has decided to postpone by a few days this mission – originally scheduled for January 23.
A new date for the mission will be announced very soon.
 
Operations will kick off in February, using Ariane 5 ECA for two geostationary transfer orbit (GTO) missions: VA217, with ABS-2 and Athena-Fidus, then VA216, with Astra 5B and Amazonas 4A.
( probably early )

In-orbit testing will be at the final location, 75.0 East. :)
 
There goes Russian TV reception for those who currently get the Russian beam on ABS1. ABS2's footprint seems more focused...
 
Only found C-band telemetry frequencies for during LEOP and probably later too:
4183.25 and 4184.25 MHz, RHCP.
