Express AM7 will operate at 40° east and will carry 36 Ku-band, 24 C-band and two L-band transponders. It will use Astrium’s Eurostar-3000 satellite bus and will provide 16 kilowatts to its payload at the end of a planned 15-year service life. It is expected to weigh 5,700 kilograms at launch.

Launch is imminent!

That was neat! Very clear visibility, over 10 minutes, and saw 2 stages separate.
Hearing "normaly" commentary, so far.
