so this is the new sat on dec, thats gone replace 110 ?

 

[gadgtfreek]

Yeah, E11 is supposed to go up on sea launch. AMC-14 is the other that is supposed to go up on proton.

whats gone happen to old 110, just lay around in space ?

From the FCC filing:

"In addition to optimizing the CONUS
service from 110º W.L., the launch and operation of EchoStar 11 may free EchoStar 8, which
can operate with both spot beam and CONUS capabilities, for a more efficient deployment at
another orbital location. It will also lessen the need for maintaining EchoStar 6 as an in-orbit
spare at the 110.4° W.L. orbital location. Due to past and recent launch vehicle incidents, the
projected launch date for EchoStar 11 is not certain but could be as early as October 1 of this​

year, and accordingly EchoStar respectfully requests timely grant of the instant application."

So maybe itll free E8 for spot beam work. What else is cool is the camera itll have on board.


EVERYONE should read it, very interesting.

isnt it gone make it hard to peak the new 110 wl sat since there is the old echo 8 at 110.4 ?

 

[gadgtfreek]

I dont see why, Id ASSume theyd move 8 to another location.

E8 hopefully moves to 129. They really need to address the problems with E5.

Why would it make it harder? There are multiple satellites at 119, 110, 61.5 and 148 right now.

Since AMC14's been on the books for December, Im glad to finally see E11 show back up. Especially since Sea Launch is cleared and supposed to be repaired end of Summer.

I'll vote for that!:up

I would have to think that once freed up the SAT would be used for the new MPEG4 service. If they don't do this, I don't know where E* will get the second SAT.

AMC14 , E* is leasing the entire sat.

i got it now, i was confused by the writting, i also like the idea of moving it to 129.

 

[tsduke]

What about the 8x and 9x locations mentioned at the summit?

 

[Kru83]

i like this.. elway

EchoStar 11 will be equipped with a camera that will supply satellite imaging
information to EchoStar’s customers by using the same DBS frequencies licensed to EchoStar at
110° W.L. Specifically, images will be transmitted back to earth on the 12.208 GHz downlink​

frequency. EchoStar duly applied to the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration

I know. AMC14 would be the first and E8 could possibly be the second SAT.
