[QUOTE="zknapic, post: 786157, member: 379179"] eutelsat,one group,one name,one fleet Eutelsat is unifying the names of its satellites with the Eutelsat brand. As of March 1st 2012 the Group’s satellites will all take the Eutelsat name, with the relevant figure for their orbital position and a letter indicating their order of arrival at that position. This logical pattern will enable our user community to immediately identify where a satellite is located and its chronology at the neighbourhood it occupies. Current in-orbit satellites will be renamed as follows: W6 at 21.5° East, for example, will become EUTELSAT 21A. The future W6A satellite will become EUTELSAT 21B. To ensure clarity, satellites at Eutelsat’s four West positions will include West in their name. For example, ATLANTIC BIRD™ 2 will become EUTELSAT 8 West A. Eutelsat’s HOT BIRD™ brand, which over 20 years has acquired an established reputation in the satellite TV industry, will be retained and associated with the Eutelsat brand and numbering system. For example, HOT BIRD™ 6 will become EUTELSAT HOT BIRD 13A. CURRENT SATELLITES ORBITAL POSITION CURRENT NAME NEW NAME AS OF MARCH 1, 2012 12.5 degrees West ATLANTIC BIRD™ 1 EUTELSAT 12 West A 8 degrees West ATLANTIC BIRD™ 2 EUTELSAT 8 West A 7 degrees West ATLANTIC BIRD™ 7 EUTELSAT 7 West A 5 degrees West ATLANTIC BIRD™ 3 EUTELSAT 5 West A 3 degrees East EUTELSAT 3A EUTELSAT 3A 3 degrees East EUTELSAT 3C EUTELSAT 3C 4 degrees East EUROBIRD™ 4A EUTELSAT 4A 7 degrees East W3A EUTELSAT 7A 9 degrees East EUROBIRD™ 9A EUTELSAT 9A 9 degrees East KA-SAT EUTELSAT KA-SAT 9A 10 degrees East W2A EUTELSAT 10A 13 degrees East HOT BIRD™ 6 EUTELSAT HOT BIRD 13A 13 degrees East HOT BIRD™ 8 EUTELSAT HOT BIRD 13B 13 degrees East HOT BIRD™ 9 EUTELSAT HOT BIRD 13C 16 degrees East W3C EUTELSAT 16A 16 degrees East EUROBIRD™ 16 EUTELSAT 16B 16 degrees East SESAT 1 EUTELSAT 16C 21.5 degrees East W6 EUTELSAT 21A 25.5 degrees East EUROBIRD™ 2 EUTELSAT 25A 28.5 degrees East EUROBIRD™ 1 EUTELSAT 28A 33 degrees East EUROBIRD™ 3 EUTELSAT 33A 36 degrees East W4 EUTELSAT 36A 36 degrees East W7 EUTELSAT 36B 48 degrees East W48 EUTELSAT 48A 70.5 degrees East W5 EUTELSAT 70A Third-party satellites (SESAT 2, TELECOM 2D, TELSTAR 12) will not change their name.
