Thaicom 3 de-orbited following power loss

Shin Satellite Plc yesterday immediately de-orbited its glitch-ridden Thaicom 3 broadcasting satellite, following its power loss, which affects its plan to tap the Middle East market. However, the company’s executive chairman Dumrong Kasemset denied that the de-orbit would affect the company’s projected revenue this year as it has yet to include Thaicom 3 incomes from the Middle East into the calculation.

He added during the teleconference with the press that the company is also evaluating the deeper financial impact of the de-orbit incidence. He said ShinSat de-orbited Thaicom 3 at approximately 01.37 am, due to the power loss to such extent that it could not provide further service. It de-orbited Thaicom 3 by moving it beyond its existing orbital slot of 50.5 degrees East.
