Hi all,
AzerSpace 1 at 46.0°E (Europe Beam)
This is a new satellite and is currently in test mode... but reports and official footprints suggest that reception of the Ku Europe Beam will be possible in the UK with 80cm~90cm dishes...
However... this new satellite is going to have to contend with some powerful signals coming from Intelsat 12 (45.0°E) on one side and Intelsat 10 (47.5°E) on the other side... so this raises the question as to which transponder/frequency range/s the new satellite is going to employ...
The transponder/frequency ranges currently employed by the satellites either side of AzerSpace 1 are...
Intelsat 12 at 45.0°E (11.400 GHz ~ 11.700 GHz / 12.500 GHz ~ 12.750 GHz)
Intelsat 10 at 47.5°E (11.400 GHz ~ 11.700 GHz / 12.500 GHz ~ 12.750 GHz)
So I think it is safe to say that AzerSpace 1 is going to have to use one or both of the following transponder/frequency ranges in order to prevent signal over-spill from it's very close neighbours on either side...
AzerSpace 1 at 46.0°E (10.700 GHz ~ 11.400 GHz / 11.700 GHz ~ 12.500 GHz) ?
I've been regularly scanning the transponder/frequency ranges (above) but I haven't seen any activity so far... Flysat reported (a few days ago) that there was one active transponder/frequency on this satellite (10.956 V 6666) showing a promo video... but I could not locate it... and the report soon vanished from their listings...
Has anyone else on the forum scanned for activity on this new satellite...?
Best Wishes,
Zorch
