It is also designed with a steerable beam for flexible coverage. “The EUTELSAT 7C spacecraft has advanced capabilities that demonstrate the flexibility and power of the SSL satellite platform.”By almost doubling capacity over Sub-Saharan Africa, from 22 to 42 transponders, EUTELSAT 7C will have room for several hundred additional digital channels to support the region’s fast expanding TV market. Eutelsat Communications’ EUTELSAT 7C satellite has entered full commercial service and is ready to support broadcast customers across Africa, Europe, the Middle East and Turkey.Manufactured by Maxar Technologies, EUTELSAT 7C is a 3.4 tonne high-power all-electric satellite carrying 49 36-Mhz equivalent Ku-band transponders.

Ariane 5 returned to action on Thursday with the dual passenger launch of two telecommunications satellites, AT&T T-16 and Eutelsat 7C.

EUTELSAT-7C Enters Commercial Service For Middle East And European CoverageEUTELSAT-7C Enters Commercial Service For Middle East And European Coverage There currently are 21 Airbus satellites in Arianespace’s backlog.EUTELSAT 7C was the 66th satellite based on a Maxar’s platform to be launched by Arianespace. It is also designed with a steerable beam for flexible coverage.The new satellite will be copositioned with EUTELSAT 7B, releasing EUTELSAT 7A to another orbital location. Being flexible, the spacecraft can be operated from five orbital slots (from 99° West to 119° West) and will cover the continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico.T-16 is designed for a lifetime of 15 years. Scheduled for launch by end 2020, and to be located at 48° East, EUTELSAT QUANTUM will offer extensive coverage of the MENA region and beyond. EUTELSAT 7C SATELLITE EUTELSAT 7C is a high-power broadcast satellite for markets in Africa, Europe, Middle East and Turkey.

Satellite and channel information updated daily. Successfully launched from Kourou, French Guiana, on 20 June 2019, the satellite is co-located with EUTELSAT 7B at 7° East, increasing capacity at this dynamic neighbourhood by 19 transponders.During the night of 27-28 January 2020, the Eutelsat teams migrated a number of services from EUTELSAT 7A to EUTELSAT 7C, including Turkish Pay-TV platform Digiturk, Turkish national broadcaster TRT, and Globecast UK for coverage across Europe and the Middle East.EUTELSAT 7A will be transferred to another orbital location as part of Eutelsat’s fleet optimisation strategy.Join SpaceWatch.Global for an interesting and informative Space Café WebTalk featuring Maruska Strah, Executive Director of the World Space Week … Aug. 10, 2020, 10:20 AM.
