Will 7east have c-band coverage? Since I lost c-band from 3east, I read it's being redeployed 7e.

Can any one shed some light on this as I want to go looking for it.

At 7° East, both Eutelsat 7A and 7B (ex 3D) have no C-band payload.

What you had at 3° East was Eutelsat 3A, that will arrive at 8° West about 27 July.

Yes, but I wouldn't expect more than the odd Eutelsat promo, like it was at 3° East.
It will be deorbited already at the end of the year.
Launched in 2007, with Chinese DFH-3 bus. Don't know yet why she has to die so young.
