Eurobird

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Eutelsat 9A)

Eurobird was a series of satellites owned and operated by Eutelsat. The Eurobird satellites provided broadcasting and telecommunication services primarily to the Western and Central European region from orbital positions of 9, 25.5 and 33 degrees East. The Eurobird brand was phased out on 1 March 2012, with the satellites becoming part of Eutelsat's main fleet in a company-wide rebranding.

Eurobirds still in operation:

Eurobirds no longer in operation:

  • Eutelsat 4A (formerly Eurobird 4A), located at 4° East since June 2009, retired in 2012.[3]

Pending investigation of damage caused to the craft, the retired Hot Bird 3 will become Eurobird 10, positioned at 10E alongside Eutelsat W1.
