up coming launch abs 2 on 75e

[solly]

abs 2 arrive to home
74.7 east will be start testing soon

 

[zorbua]

Solly has abs 2 started testing yet?

 

[solly]

it not start testing yet

 

[zorbua]

it not start testing yet

ok Tks.

ot best video of footprint

The shown C- and Ku-footprint in that video must be the combined coverage of ABS-1, 2 and 3. One satellite can never cover a large region like that.

 

[hvdh]

Yesterday evening's TLE had ABS 2 at 74.9 East moving East, so ABS-2 should be together with ABS-1 at 75.0 East now.

 

[solly]

it start testing near 12 march

The first transponders of ABS-2 were activated today in the morning. They used a quick test of unmodulated carriers and then loaded transponders with digital signal. Here they are:

10971 H 12539 8/9 8PSK
10998 H 12616 8/9 8PSK
11031 H 12539 8/9 8PSK
11058 H 12539 8/9 8PSK
11665 V 26077 8/9 8PSK

We have a strong signal in the rest of Russia and little weaker in Central Asia countries.
I don't sure about Europe (if look at footprint map), but you could try receive these signals.

 

[Kveys]

Quite strong also in Finland. More than 15dB (125 Gibby). No changes yet on C-band as I just blindscanned it and same levels as before. Any idea what/when/are there any C-band changes in future..? A-beam strong here but B-beam weak (2.3m mesh). This new bird will use Global, east-hemi and west hemi and surely east hemi looks like bye bye for channels, if it will be use..?

 

[Lasseparabol]

A lot of channels at:
10969H 17141SR 11.4dB
11029H 17141SR 12.8dB
11603V 43200SR 14.0dB
11663V 42783SR 12.7dB

There are more txp active but no channels there

 

[satesco]

10998H,17245,2/3,S2/8psk-we have on this transponder a T2-MI PLP-0.We can see the content with 4T2 Content Analyzer.

 

[solly]

next week abs 2 start switch transponder from abs 1 to abs 2

 

[solly]

telecommunications satellite ABS second During the tests were confirmed by the calculated parameters of the satellite.
Successful tests allow the movement of the satellite on ABS 1 ABS 2, in accordance with the original plan. The commercial launch ABS 2 is scheduled for Thursday, March 27, 2014.

Will those transponders on ABS 1 having a Northern beam still continue to do so if they are transferred to ABS2?
I am asking because I could always receive these Transponders up to now, but can't receive any new Transponders from ABS 2 using the Russian Beam, or putting it in simpler terms, is ABS 2 going to have any Pan European Beam?

We gonna loose (South area) all Russian channels from this position with ABS2 Russian Footprint .


After channels immigration , ABS1 gonna be transfer at 159.0° E .

 

[adonis1]

Ok , thats the bad news with Russia Beam of ABS 2 .

The good ? news are , that C band channels of ABS2 are gonna be much easier to get them .

did you get same transponder from abs 2 low ku band ?

 

[adonis1]

did you get same transponder from abs 2 low ku band ?

Not even one transponder , of ABS2 , but I get all transponders of ABS1 .

So soon , i will not have receprtion of russian beam from 75E .

 

[solly]

the table say start tomorow both satellite abs1/2
it start disconnect abs 1 from 2.4 and 10;.4
