Nimiq 5 Launch Scheduled for September 18

Can't wait to get better signals from the 72.7 sat! Then eastern arc will be as good for sat strengths as western arc.

Not quite... the health of EA will still not compare to WA.

What are the reasons for not being up to par of the WA? Also, where is the Nimig 5 lauching from?

KILL JOY! :rant:


At least it will be much better than now. Anything higher than 45 signal on 72.7 sat will be an improvement.

Sorry someone started a thread about full use before I posted on it.

 

[HDRoberts]

It is in the Channel 101 Guide and you can set a DVR timer.

Just a reminder. Coverage is TODAY, starting at 2:55 ET. It is also being streamed on the web. Proton / Nimiq 5 Launch Sadly, it is being blocked at work for me.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

We will be having a live chat today as well.

Go NIMIQ 5

Let's hope for a sucessful launch. The Conus footprint for Nimiq 5 (attached) will completely cover the 48 state region with at least a 50 dBw EIRP.

And, today's thread on the contract for all 32 transponders adds to the excitement.

Now covering on Channel 101 - 3:19 ET launch

Documents I've seen shows them using the even transponders.
