The 65 West A satellite has arrived in Kourou and is on track for launch on 9 March by an Ariane rocket, its operator Eutelsat has revealed.
Built by Space Systems Loral (SSL) in California, EUTELSAT 65 West A will be located at 65° West, a premier position for the Brazilian TV market and is set to reach geostationary orbit ahead of the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, providing live TV transmissions from Brazil to Latin America and Europe and further afield via Eutelsat’s global fleet.
The tri-band satellite is designed to target fast-growing markets across Latin America and its Ku-band payload will enable DTH reception of digital and HDTV channels across Brazil with 60cm antennas and facilitate corporate connectivity in Central America, the Caribbean and the Andean region. The craft will also feature a transatlantic C-band coverage for cross-continental video contribution and distribution and a multi-spotbeam Ka-band payload.
