Eutelsat 10B

Eutelsat 10B is slated to deliver Ku-band services for aviation and maritime customers across Europe, the Mediterranean Basin, the Middle East, Africa, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Indian Ocean.

Thales Alenia Space is building both geostationary satellites Konnect VHTS and Eutelsat 10B for Eutelsat.

Thales Alenia Space built EUTELSAT 10B on the Spacebus NEO platform.

The first EUTELSAT 10B Ku-band payload provides high-capacity coverage of the North Atlantic corridor, Europe, the Mediterranean basin, and the Middle East with significant throughput in busy air and sea traffic zones.

EUTELSAT 10B’s Ku-band payload complements the Ka-band of the EUTELSAT KONNECT VHTS satellite.

Eutelsat projects a return to profitability in its next fiscal financial year starting 2023-07-01, based in part on strong take-up of Konnect VHTS and Eutelsat 10B.

Eutelsat 10B is slated to enter service from geostationary orbit by the middle of 2023.

Historic clients Arqiva and Eurovision will be able to use the new resources and enhanced services at 10° East provided by EUTELSAT 10B.

Eutelsat’s recently launched geostationary satellites Eutelsat 10B and Konnect VHTS are contributing commercial traction to its mobile and fixed connectivity businesses.

One of EUTELSAT 10B’s Ku-band HTS payloads provides coverage of the North Atlantic corridor, Europe, the Mediterranean basin, and the Middle East with significant throughput in busy air and sea traffic zones.

EUTELSAT 10B carries two widebeam payloads in C-band and Ku-band to ensure continuity of video services currently provided by EUTELSAT 10A.

SpaceX launched the second of two satellites for Eutelsat on 2022-11-03 to replenish one of the largest broadcast systems in Europe, the Middle East, and Northern Africa.

The Eutelsat 10B mission was delayed from 2022-11-21 to allow SpaceX additional pre-flight checkouts.

Eutelsat 10B carries two C- and Ku-band payloads to replace TV broadcast services provided by Eutelsat 10A at 10 degrees East.

SpaceX launched the Eutelsat 10B satellite on 2022-11-22 from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida.

Falcon 9 launched the Eutelsat 10B mission to a geosynchronous transfer orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida on Tuesday, 2022-11-22 at 9:57 p.m. ET.

EUTELSAT 10B was launched into Geostationary Transfer Orbit by SpaceX on 2022-11-22 with liftoff at 21:57 Eastern time from Cape Canaveral, Florida, corresponding to 02:57 UTC and 03:57 CET on 2022-11-23.
