Due to launch on the 18th of this month. Don't have any details on the African spot beam yet, but here are the rest.

Will join the other Sirius birds at 5E.

The first is the Nordic Ku beam, then the European Ku, then the Ka band beam.

interesting europe beam, main focus over eastern europe

any reason for that ?

Eastern Europe is going to be a BIG market over the next few years as their income goes up and they get the benefits of being in the EEC/EU

Hopefully we should see a bit more of the stuff that we can't get off the other birds at the moment

Viasat has a big market in the eastern countries.

We have lots of Russians and other eastern people in Sweden right now doing business and also illegal activities.

They should never removed the Berlin wall.

There are reports that some transponders on this beam are active (maybe periodically) and some hobbyists report receiving some channels from it in West Africa.
