	ASTRA 2D Ready For Launch
		ASTRA 2D, a Boeing 376 HP spacecraft built for Societe Europeenne des Satellites (SES) of Luxembourg, is scheduled for launch Dec. 19 aboard an Ariane 5.
		ASTRA 2D is the first spin-stabilized satellite ordered by SES, operator of Europe's leading ASTRA direct-to-home (DTH) satellite system.
		ASTRA 2D is designed to have 1600W of power at beginning of life and 1400W of power at end of life.

	Astra
		Astra 1A is based in the GE 4000 series platform, and was the first in a network of four satellites.
		Astra 2D was a Boeing 376HP spin-stabilised satellite, with a dry mass of around 700 kg.
		Astra 2D was in a 292 x 35835 km x 2.2 deg transfer orbit on December 22 and was subsequently boosted into geosynchronous orbit by its Star 30 apogee kick motor.

	law.com - Decision
		Under its first point of error, Astra Oil contends that at "the heart of this appeal is the issue of indemnity and whether [Astra Oil] is entitled to indemnity from [Diamond Shamrock]." Two types of indemnity have historically existed: common- law indemnity and contractual indemnity.
		Astra Oil, in its brief, argues that it is entitled to contractual indemnity and to common-law indemnity under a vicarious liability theory.
		Astra Oil claims that the trial court should not have decided the indemnity issue because that was an issue to be decided in arbitration pursuant to the arbitration provision in the contract between Astra Oil and Diamond Shamrock.

	SUCCESSFUL LAUNCH OF ASTRA 2D
		ASTRA 2D's first signals were received approximately 110 minutes later at the Belrose satellite tracking station in Sydney, Australia, confirming that systems are operating normally.
		"ASTRA 2D is the 55th Boeing 376-model spacecraft we've launched to date," said Tig H. Krekel, President of Boeing Satellite Systems, Inc. "This satellite model's high degree of reliability and versatility has made it one of the most popular spacecraft models in use today.

	Astra 2d..South Sweden, which size dish please! [Archive] - Satellite TV
		Astra 2D; enough to allow the receiver to lock on and save channels on 10,773 H (transponder 45) and 10,803 D (transponder 47) when tuned manually.
		Gothenburg area is very differrent to us in the south, because the side-lobe from 2D is closer to you than us located in the south.
		If all Sky Digital channels would move in the future to footprints similar to 2D then i don't see the need for either a large dish or a motorised one and will be happy with the small 68cm dish for receiving Canal Digital from Sirius and Thor.

	2D in Gothenburg
		When I first tried to receive Astra 2D I used an ordinary 0,3 dB LNB (which was made for offsett-dishes) which worked fine in clear weather but in heavy rain I got reception problems.
		I have no problem receiveing the horisontal transponders on Astra 2D but the signalstrength on vertikal transponders vary during the day like you say but still possible to receieve most of the time, except for 10 906 V which is the weakest transponder.
		Astra 2B can be received with an ordinary 70-80 cm dish in Sweden but if you want to receive the weak Astra 2D you´ll need a 180 cm dish if you live on the swedish westcoast.

	BBC satellite switch plan is 'bizarre' - 14 March 2003 - New Scientist
		The switch would be from the Astra 2A satellite used by Rupert Murdoch's Sky, to the adjacent Astra 2D satellite.
		The BBC argues that because the transmitters on the new satellite, Astra 2D, are "tightly focussed" on the UK, people in continental Europe will not receive a strong enough signal to watch programmes, and the scrambling can be abandoned.
		However Astra's own technical data clearly show that the transmitters on the 2D satellite reach well into continental Europe, meaning the unscrambled signal could be easily picked up.
