They have no control; cannot send commands. It's like have a PC with no keyboard or mouse.

If Intelsat can't command the G15 spacecraft, it will interfere with AMC-11, which operates on the same frequencies. It's more than a simple "hot swap" of customers. If you can't command the spacecraft, you can't turn off transponders after bifurcating with G12. You can't get it to a...

US govt took control of AMC-14 a week ago, and SES took control of Ed Horowitz this morning.

Tracking AMC-14 with NORAD data Cool tracking tool, but probably a few days behind. NORAD data lags reality by a few days. Might want to call it "kinda close to real time." Via Inside Satellite TV (subscription): Technicians are seemingly breathing a little easier over last weekend s lost...

Via AFX: Shares in SES SA fell after the news that SES Americom's AMC-14 satellite failed to reach its intended orbit following its launch on board a Russian Proton Breeze-M launch vehicle on Saturday. At 9.22 am, SES shares were down 0.65 eur or 4.20 pct at 14.83 eur as the Euronext-100...

ILS is no longer based in the U.S. They'll work with Khrunichev to figure out why the 2nd burn ended 130 seconds too soon. As to what to do with AMC-14, the decision is up to SES Americom and Lockheed Martin. The satellite's in good shape, in a safe orbit and full of fuel. Charlie and his...

Lockheed Martin and SES Americom are commanding the spacecraft, which is in a safe orbit. Options are being evaluated. All is not lost.

The launch will be carried live on DISH FYI channel 101. Also in C-band on AMC-1, transponder C17 4040 H), in the clear. And webcast, too.

what about Dean Olmstead? Where does he fit in?

Intelsat killed IPTV project The Intelsat board of directors told their boys to kill the IPTV service back in May of 2007 -- frightened by IP-PRIME. The Web site's just really slow with edits. Some went off to merge Auroras with Broadstream -- calling it "Avail Media"

20 million requests for tickets so far. My cousin's got two.

“While testing of DirecTV 10’s capability continues, it appears that a portion of the anticipated spot-beam capability may not be fully available."

DirecTV 10 in doing in-orbit testing and then this: “While testing of DirecTV 10’s capability continues, it appears that a portion of the anticipated spot-beam capability may not be fully available."

Sun outages are not to blame here, which occur around the equinoxes. Different times/dates for each satellite depending on location. 61.5, 110 and 119 cannot be affected simultaneously. Must have been a problem in Cheyenne.

AMC-16 will stop at those orbital locations to satisfy an F.C.C. requirement for EchoStar: bringing the slot into use, thereby preserving their license. Providing service, even "testing," is enough to ensure they retain rights to those two slots in the Ka-band.

Lyngbox it does blind-scan

The folks that bring us LyngSat developed a new satellite receiver capable of storing 50,000 channels. It can be used worldwide, too. Get ready for LyngBox

AMC-16 is indeed an FSS bird, but it can switch between linear and circular polarization. Circular is good for integrating with DBS reception. This move is a good thing for us DISH people.

While all the "big companies" were at CES, Apple was filing trademarks: http://today.reuters.co.uk/news/newsArticle.aspx?type=technologyNews&storyID=2006-01-12T193714Z_01_FOR270548_RTRIDST_0_TECH-APPLE-TRADEMARK-DC.XML

When Rene Anselmo, PanAmSat’s legendary founder, sought a way to fight the government monopoly in satellite communications in the early 1990s, he turned to cartoonist Neal Walker. Under Anselmo's direction, Walker created ads featuring a smart-mouthed, irreverent pooch named SPOT. The cartoon...
