HS-3 will begin commercial service tonight.

IMHO first week of August is much reliable target for the start of operations. Latest statement of Bulgariasat: All systems of the first Bulgarian geostationary communication satellite BulgariaSat-1 work normally - Bulgariasat

In-Orbit tests will start by Feb 24th. In mid-March, satellite will be handed over to Turksat. Due to some ITU regulations Turksat 4A has to stay at 50 East until May. In early June, Turksat 4A is to arrive its permanent location at 42 East.

Do you mean a confidential payload?

Proton launch cost is $95-105 million. Ariane costs more than $120 million for 6-ton class satellite.

Same source lists. Jun 13 Proton-M/Briz-M Ekspress AM-5 Jun 13 Proton-M/Briz-M Astra 2E Jun 13 Proton-M/Briz-M Inmarsat 5 F1</pre> <p>It is outdated.

Express-AM5 launch is not expected before 2E. 2E possibliy will shift April or May. Ariane backlog is full until September 2013.

1N's relocation time. "Issue" probably was a wrong word. Sorry for poor English.

%70 mine conjecture. %30 info from SES representer who told me (2 weeks ago) that Astra-2F will replace Astra-2B. She did not mention the issue on Astra-1N

That is my scenario based on technical characteristics of mentioned satellites at 28.2&19.2 East.

Well, Astra-2B will be freed for 19.2 East in next days. Astra-1N should wait until Astra-2C arrival.

It is said that data was appeared on SES homepage last year and shortly after publication information was removed.

There -http://www.uydudanevar.com/2012/11/astra-2f-282-dogu-teknik-ozellikleri.html that Astra-2F is not able to replace all transmissions on Astra-1N.
