[vijay mahanta]

Friends, a good news that ABS 2i has arrived on 63.5*e.:skd Yet, the footprints has not published but I think it is a good alternative for ABS 1 in terms of elevation. It is a good news that ABS has acquired a new slot. May be it is a old satellite. But ABS is increasing it presence in Asian area. If anyone knows more about this plz share.

Its an old satellite, ABS 4 (mobisat)
Launched in 2004, with an expected lifetime of 12 yrs.

So, cant expect much from this aging sat. :s
