The Astra 1N satellite moves into position 19.2 ° East

Quote

SES Astra, the satellite operator based in Luxembourg, has started operations movement Astra 1N from the orbital position of 28.2 degrees East to 19.2 ° East, which was actually originally planned when he took his construction.
This change of location is possible by the migration service of Astra 1N satellite to the new Astra 2D (28.2 ° East).
The entry into service of Astra 1N at 19.2 ° East ensures good reception of their signals across Europe with a satellite dish with a diameter of 0.60 meters, with the exception of northern Europe where its coverage is limited (in the footprint facilitated by SES Astra below you can check the coverage footprint).
The Astra 1N satellite was launched into space in August 2011 by an Ariane 5 rocket. It is equipped with 52 Ku-band transponders (up to 40 in the BSS band with a bandwidth of 33 MHz) and 64 repeaters in the FSS band (width 26 MHz).
The Astra 1N satellite will be operational in the new position of 19.2 ° East in the coming days.

just a matter of time to see what it will actually be used for...
