Russian satellite operator RSCC carry out another series of technical tests on the new telecommunication satellite Express AM6 at position 51 ° E. At this location should appear now.

After the technical tests will be moved Express AM6 early May to its target orbital position 53 ° E, which will take over operations for the satellite Express AM22. It moves to the position of 80 ° E, which after years RSCC restore service.

From the position 53 ° E will continue to provide Express AM6 coverage of European Russia, the Urals, Western Siberia, the Middle East, Europe and Africa.

I think @ Shawl it is good for us, because when it will reached to 80 deg its KU band European beam will have a good coverage over India.
