More and more birds in the sky
More satellites are crossing the sky to start serving new satellite services, this time there is a new satellite for North America the "Galaxy 17" armed it will stop and start broadcast at 17 degrees west. with 24 Ku band and 24 C band transponders,This is the expected foot prints for C and Ku band.
The other bird is the european "Astra 1L" which will broadcast from 19.2 east degrees, the main Astra broadcast point. The introduction of this satellite will force the move of Astra 2C to the 28.8 east degrees to add around 200 channels to this position. Astra 1L is carrying 29 Ku band and 2 Ka band transponders, I hope this new satellite bring us more High Definition contents and better signal in some weak points. This is the expected foot print:
