Yes good thanks M........did not really connect to the net whilst there....complete enjoyable break and now have to get sorted again.........wife extremely tired but made sure she enjoyed the different culture/food etc.........explanation of events helped her greatly.

Anyway, 100's of threads to read through and selfishly could not resist starting with this one being a related C-band post. :D

Best wishes.

As it is a new bird in a brand new orbital slot ; it's not expected to show hot activity in the coming few days ; on the other hand , Arabsat had leased all the Ku TPs on the Mena beam , so , who knows ?!

An announcement from ABS

ABS-3A Satellite Enters Commercial Service

10 SEPTEMBER 2015

DOWNLOAD ARTICLE AS PDF

Back to News

Bermuda, 10th September 2015 – The revolutionary ABS-3A satellite is now in full commercial use. The satellite started service on 31st August 2015 to serve the Americas, Africa, Europe and the Middle East regions.

Launched on 1st March 2015, the ABS-3A satellite built by Boeing has performed even better than expected having arrived ahead of schedule. In-Orbit tests have been successfully completed and the satellite became fully operational on 31st August 2015.

ABS-3A features 48 C and Ku-band active transponders (96 x 36 MHz equivalent) and is equipped with high performance beams to support the rapidly growing markets in the Americas and Africa as well as the European and Middle East regions. ABS-3A provides expansion capacity to reach markets servicing high-growth data, video, mobility and government applications.

"ABS’ innovative design and procurement approach for satellites is designed to provide the best possible economics to our customers. ABS-3A and along with ABS-2A, launching in early 2016, will deliver these exceptional economics on current next-generation satellites. Both ABS-3A and 2A will further strengthen and solidify our global expansion and offer flexible capacity to our growing fleet,” commented Tom Choi, CEO of ABS. "We look forward to serving diverse markets using increasingly innovative and affordable solutions for many of ABS’ current and future customers.”

"With a successful launch, testing and execution of orbit operations, we were able to deliver the first 702SP to ABS about one month earlier than planned,” said Mark Spiwak, president, Boeing Satellite Systems International. "The 702SP product line was designed to bring the latest technology into the hands of customers seeking adaptable and affordable solutions. In addition, the 702SP’s patented dual-launch capability helps customers share launch costs, which can significantly lower overall expenses for a satellite owner.
