this movement of services is not that. Its in direct response to the loss of AMOS 5. Our teleport has abandoned services to AMOS 5 and is busy right now repointing large earth station antennas to other birds - so its pretty certain now AMOS 5 is dead. We really dont expect it to come back up...

services are being moved off AMOS 5 and over to EutelSat capacity....so i think that pretty much says it all.

Hey, its definitely dead - i have 75 modems pointed at AMOS 5 and they are all DOWN - no signal being received at all. All we are getting from Spacecom is that they have no news about the AMOS 5 failure. We get a report from them every 2 hours - always the same message - they dont know why they...

Yes it did have power anomaly's - in 2013. Something not quite right about this bird almost since it launched. We see 1dB power jumps throughout the day and night - it happens all the time. Could say lots more but at this point best i be quiet.

Can confirm AMOS 5 at 17 East has FAILED. Signal abruptly stopped at 04:45 UTC today. There are no beacons functioning at all. Everything is dead on AMOS 5 - seems to be total power loss.

Yes , AMOS 5 has FAILED. 11 hours now with no service. There is not a single transponder on the bird functioning - seems to be total power loss. All signals stopped abruptly at 04:45 UTC today. I can confirm this as i monitor several carriers on this bird - it just disappeared this morning...
