Looks like it is a goner. Stricken with fuel leak, Intelsat 29e seen drifting in geostationary orbit – Spaceflight Now

Eutelsat 117 W B was launched by Space X this morning. It will be co-located with Eutelsat 117 W A at 117 degrees west. Eutelsat 117 W B is a Ku Band only satellite that will provide some coverage into the southern tier of U.S. states. Footprint map is here...

Eutelsat 65 West A was successfully launched last night. It will be parked at 65 degrees west. :) The C Band transponders cover parts of Conus, South America, and Western Europe. The Ku Band Americas Beam covers parts of Conus (36-39dBW) and down through northern South America. There is also a...

Intelsat 29e was successfully launched aboard an Ariane 5 rocket yesterday. It will be replacing Intelsat 1R at 50° W, probably in a few months. Here is a link to the footprint map: http://www.intelsat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/5533-IS-29e.pdf On C band, Intelsat 1R covers both North and...

Ever since the launch of SES 6 over two years ago, I've been interested in receiving the transponders in the 4500 to 4800 MHz frequency range. SES 6 is the only satellite visible from my location that has transponders in this band. But with reports of mostly no video, and LNBs running around...

Eutelsat 115 W B is now operational, taking over from the inclined orbiting Eutelsat 115 W A (Satmex 5). I haven't seen any video there in the 5 days that I have been looking. There are some DVB data signals, plus a number of non-DVB signals on both C and Ku Band. Eutelsat 115 W B has an...

There is a Space X launch to the ISS today at 10:21 AM EDT. Coverage is on NASA TV at 105W. They are going to attempt to land the first stage on a barge again. Hope NASA TV covers that event.

Mexsat 1 probably wouldn't have been of much interest to the FTA community, but any launch failure is bad. http://spaceflightnow.com/2015/05/16/proton-crash-deals-another-blow-to-russian-space-sector/

One by one, the transponders on Anik G1 have been lighting up today. At my location near Santa Fe, New Mexico, the signal is pretty weak compared to Anik F1r, but at least there is some signal. In the attached scan the signal from Anik G1 is below 11,700 MHz and Anik F1r is above. This...
