Jako Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Astra2G ,the last of the three new generation satellites, is on track to be launched on November 27 at 22:24:33 hours CET from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. As usual it will take several months before is is operational at 28.2 east. What we do not know is what services will be transferred to the UK narrow beam. There is speculation that some Sky services might move under pressure from rights holders in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BJSLIV Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Which is unsurprisingly virtually identical to 28E's theoretical footprint.http://www.satbeams.com/!ajax/embed?beam=7496 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jako Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 It appears that the Astra2G satellite will first be used to occupy a military orbital slot for three months before moving to the Astra2 position at 28.2 degrees east.source: Spacenews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 It looks as if Rockall will get an excellent signal, so good luck to all those who live there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
