I missed the feed for the launch, but am looking forward to the results.

So far everything is good , both birds, Hispasat 1E and KoreasSat 6 are on ballistic mode at the GEO transfer orbit on their way to their final orbital positions. Another Succesful launch for the European ESA agency. As per KoreaSat , their bird should be ready for operations somewhere in January. BTW Hispasat keeps saying that the new bird doubles the capacity for them at 30W (that is what their CEO Petra said in English over a video recording) , Are they planning on using the new bird with the opposite set of frecuencies , I mean the low Ku instead of for Europe like in the old 1C/1D now for America and the upper Ku viceversa?. Will they be allow to do that?. It will be interesting though to operate 1E with the need of a universal LNB for America and only standard for Europe?. Or was it a translation glitch?. Anyone any ideas?.

BTW a sumarized version (live it lastes for over an 1 hour I think) of the feed can be seen hear at

No way , too soon. Intelsat 17 was launched last Nov 26 and it just got to its orbital position on 66E. As per the manufacturer SSL, it succesfully performed post launch manouvers and fired its "thrusters" after deploying its solar panels so I guess it is already on its way to 30W. N2yo still has nothing on it. Maybe we'll see it commercially working by the end of this month.
