Eutelsat 48C (formerly Eutelsat 21A, Eutelsat W3 , Eutelsat W6 ) was a communications satellite of the European Telecommunications Satellite Organization Eutelsat , based in Paris.
history
It was launched on April 12, 1999 aboard an Atlas rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station , the spaceport in Florida, USA. The satellite was originally operated as Eutelsat W3 at the orbital position 7 ° East, but was prematurely replaced by the Eutelsat W3A satellite for technical reasons . It was moved to position 21.5 ° East and renamed to Eutelsat W6 .
On March 1, 2012, Eutelsat standardized the names of its satellites around the brand name, and the satellite changed its name to Eutelsat 21A .
On November 10th, 2012 Eutelsat 21B was launched, which replaced Eutelsat 21A in its position. Eutelsat 21A was then moved to position 48 ° East and finally renamed to Eutelsat 48C.
In November 2014, Eutelsat 48C was decommissioned and placed in a cemetery orbit.
technology
Eutelsat 48C almost exclusively provided capacity for Internet and multimedia services. Only a few radio and TV programs were broadcast. Above all, companies were the target group for these satellites. You should use Eutelsat 48C for your communication and Internet connections ( e.g. video conferencing, Internet connection in the Middle East).
reception
The satellite could be received in Europe , Africa , the Middle East as well as parts of Asia and Russia .
