Eutelsat NEW Satellite names 01-03-2012 Eutelsat is unifying the names of its satellites with the Eutelsat brand. As of March 1st 2012 the Group’s satellites will all take the Eutelsat name, with the relevant figure for their orbital position and a letter indicating their order of arrival at that position. This logical pattern will enable our user community to immediately identify where a satellite is located and its chronology at the neighbourhood it occupies. Current in-orbit satellites will be renamed as follows: W6 at 21.5° East, for example, will become EUTELSAT 21A. The future W6A satellite will become EUTELSAT 21B. To ensure clarity, satellites at Eutelsat’s four West positions will include West in their name. For example, ATLANTIC BIRD™ 2 will become EUTELSAT 8 West A. Eutelsat’s HOT BIRD™ brand, which over 20 years has acquired an established reputation in the satellite TV industry, will be retained and associated with the Eutelsat brand and numbering system. For example, HOT BIRD™ 6 will become EUTELSAT HOT BIRD 13A. Eutelsat satellite fleet: https://www.eutelsat.com/ |

I've not updated the Eutelsat names as I am a bit concerned that the new names lose the identity of the satellite so we have no idea what its characteristics are or what beams it has.
I have just calculated the positions of 401 geostationary satellites as below. Note they are all calculated positions and I may have some wrong. The satellite names in the left column comprise the launch year, launch number and letter for each payload launched on that occasion. e.g. 06 means 2006 99 means 1999 023 means 23rd launch in that year. 039 means 39th launch that year. A means first or only satellite on that launch. B means second satellite on that launch (dual or more payload) Example as of 16 Feb 2012 (edited later to make short) Name Common name Orbit inc 06023A GALAXY-16-(G-16) -99.0 0.0 08039A INMARSAT-4-F3 -97.6 3.0 08045A GALAXY-19-(G-19) -97.0 0.0 09034A SIRIUS-FM-5 -95.9 0.0 02030A GALAXY-3C-(G-3C) -95.0 0.0 etc etc etc For a current list of satellites go to: https://www.satsig.net/sslist.htm |

I've just been recalculating satellite orbit positions and noted that several of the Eutelsat satellites appear to have the wrong names. Does anyone know better ? Correct Common name orbit inc. identity 09016A EUTELSAT 10A 10.0 0.1 06020A EUTELSAT 113 WEST A -113.0 0.1 15010B EUTELSAT 115 WEST B -114.9 0.0 13012A EUTELSAT 117 WEST A -116.8 0.0 02040A EUTELSAT 12 WEST A -36.0 0.1 11057A EUTELSAT 16A 16.0 0.1 00019A EUTELSAT 16C 14.5 3.7 05052A EUTELSAT 172A (GE-23) 172.0 0.1 12062B EUTELSAT 21B 21.6 0.1 13044A EUTELSAT 25B 25.5 0.0 03043A EUTELSAT 33A 30.9 1.8 01011A EUTELSAT 33C 33.1 0.1 02038A EUTELSAT 33D 45.2 0.1 00028A EUTELSAT 36A 88.6 0.4 09065A EUTELSAT 36B 35.9 0.1 14030A EUTELSAT 3B 3.1 0.1 96067A EUTELSAT 48A 48.3 5.8 08065B EUTELSAT 48D 48.1 0.1 02035A EUTELSAT 5 WEST A -5.0 0.0 16014A EUTELSAT 65 WEST A -65.1 0.0 11051A EUTELSAT 7 WEST A -7.3 0.1 12069A EUTELSAT 70B 70.5 0.1 04008A EUTELSAT 7A 7.0 0.1 13022A EUTELSAT 7B 7.0 0.0 01042A EUTELSAT 8 WEST A -12.5 0.1 15039B EUTELSAT 8 WEST B -8.0 0.1 16005A EUTELSAT 9B 9.0 0.1 06032A EUTELSAT HOT BIRD 13B 13.0 0.1 08065A EUTELSAT HOT BIRD 13C 13.0 0.1 09008B EUTELSAT HOT BIRD 13D 33.1 0.1 06007B EUTELSAT HOT BIRD 13E 13.0 0.0 10069A EUTELSAT KA-SAT 9A 9.0 0.0 Best regards, Eric. |
