[SUNIEL]

Can't get you how existing one will goes to DD FD ? Is SUN DIRECT having those TPs in a lease ?

currently 1 tp of insat 4b is with sun but after measat 4b they will move completly on measat satellite. On other side dd also got permission to use 1 extra tp of insat 4b i.e. 6 tp of insat 4b for dd freedish and this the reason that mpeg4 is delayed by dd freedish.

But if SUN denying to give that 1 TP then ?

 

[Technoglitch]

it ont be denied as Insat can be a failure anytime.

 

[SUNIEL]

it ont be denied as Insat can be a failure anytime.

yes, correct. No dth want to take risk as indian sat is not up to mark also not backup solution. Other side is isro can force to do it by providing another capacity.

Arianespace’s Ariane 5 mission with MEASAT-3b and Optus 10 is given the go-ahead for its September 11 launch

The Arianespace heavy-lift Ariane 5 mission with telecommunications satellites for two leading Asia-Pacific operators received the “green light” today for its Thursday liftoff from the Spaceport in French Guiana.

Carrying Malaysian-based MEASAT’s MEASAT-3b in the upper position under Ariane 5’s fairing and Optus 10 for Australia’s Optus as the lower passenger, this mission further underscores Arianespace’s leadership position in the Asia-Pacific – with the company having launched two-thirds of the region’s commercial geostationary telecommunications satellites since its 1980 founding.
