El satélite Eutelsat 3C ya se ha ubicado, tal como estaba previsto, en la posición orbital de 13º Este. Y lo hace con un nuevo nombre, el de Eutelsat Hot Bird 13D.
De esta forma se une al resto de la familia, es decir, los Eutelsat Hot Bird 13A, 13B y 13C. Cada uno de estos satélites está equipado con 64 transpondedores en banda Ku de baja potencia, que cubren todo el espectro de frecuencias disponibles. Estas son 102.
Por ahora todavía no existe ningún servicio operativo en el nuevo Eutelsat Hot Bird 13D.
Eutelsat ha podido reubicar el antiguo Eutelsat 3C debido a que hace unas semanas entró en servicio de forma oficial el satélite Eutelsat 3D tras la migración que se llevó a cabo de los servicios del 3C al D.
La operadora satelital europea con sede en París sigue potenciando la posición de 13º Este, la considerada como la más comercial de toda la flota.
