Typo error for Eutelsat 12 West B :)
More to the point what satellite will now move to 12.5 west & become Eutelsat 12 West C ?

Eutelsat 12 West B is running low on fuel re Eutelsat last evaluation 1st Qtr 2019
So it can go inclined by approx 0.5 degrees until a replacement satellite moves here.

Has anyone seen any activity on this satellite lately? Been trying to save its position on a new dish but not seen anything thus far.

Thanks for that! Maybe see some action closer to GE time as I imagine all available space will be booked, even on inclnied birds.

Yes even IS-905 @ 24.5 west will spring into life for the GE.

Sorry should have clarified for those not in the UK. We have a General Election on the 12th of December and will SNGs all over the country at counts, so you usually see feeds on almost all the visible satellites from the UK from various networks, BBC, Sky, ITN, CNN etc.

Eutelsat 12 West B has left 12.5°W, drifting West. Passed 13°W already.
Probably the end-of-life orbit raising has started.
This satellite was launched in 2001 with planned lifetime of 12 years, not bad!
