Quillan Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I have given some thought to this over the last few days and checked up a little on the design of the Astra platforms. It has moving solar panels to charge the batteries and they always point (computer controlled) towards the sun for the maximum amount of time per day. As to the batteries well if you paid billions for the satellite and expected to get more than 100 times your cost back by renting out channels you would make sure it had enough battery capacity for such situations.
