[QUOTE="timo_w2s, post: 926282, member: 196043"] Yeah it's been confusing me too. The official website says, "THOR 7 will be equipped with 11 Ku-band transponders, to provide dedicated capacity for broadcast services in Central and Eastern Europe" on this page [url]http://www.telenorsat.com/thor7/thor-7-services/broadcast/[/url] On the PDF from here [url]http://www.telenorsat.com/thor7/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/THOR-7-satellite-overview-and-technical-specification.pdf[/url] says: "The Ku band payload comprises 11 transponders for the provision of broadcast capacity and has the further capability of providing restoration capacity for TSBC’s THOR satellite fleet at 1°West." And then on the next page in the specs it says: "Ku-Band: 21 BSS channels covering Continental Europe" So does that sound like they mean 11 additional transponders for Central and Eastern Europe plus backup for other services? It's still less than the 32 you counted though... Edit: Or could some transponders be switching frequencies during the tests and only 21 are available at any one time? [/QUOTE]
