	Eurobird - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Eurobird is the name for a set of satellites owned by Eutelsat.
		Eurobird 1, located at 28.5° East, positioned close to SES Astras Astra 2 satellites, and carries free-to-air and Sky Digital television.
		Eurobird 2, located at 25.5° East, was formerly Hot Bird 5 at 13° East.

		The countdown is proceeding on schedule for launch of Ariane 509 with the Eurobird and BSAT-2a communications spacecraft.
		For launch, Eurobird will be positioned on top of the payload "stack" inside the fairing and will be deployed first, while BSAT-2a will be located on the bottom inside the Sylda 5 dual payload adapter.
		Both the European Eurobird and the Japanese BSAT-2a spacecraft are proceeding through routine pre-launch tests and checks before being mated to the Ariane 5 awaiting them in the final assembly building.

	Eurobird 1
		The Eurobird satellite, built for the operator Eutelsat, provides broadcasting and telecommunication services primarily to the Western and Central European region from an orbital position of 28.5° E. Launched in the first quarter of 2001, the satellite is designed for 24-channel operation over its minimum lifetime of 12 years.
		In addition, the high transmit power of the Eurobird satellite makes it ideal for providing broadcast programmes and multimedia services into very small and inexpensive satellite dishes.
		As well as a fixed beam, the satellite has two steerable beams which offer the possibility for service provision at either a national or a regional level.

	EUROBIRD 3 :: 33° East :: Satellite information (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Positioned at 33° East, EUROBIRD™ 3 is optimised for interactive broadband services, and also valued by broadcasters for occasional use and professional video services, and data networks.
		With its proximity to EUROBIRD™ 1 at 28.5° East,
		EUROBIRD™ 3 is also perfectly positioned for bundling digital TV and broadband services that can be received by small domestic antennas.

	Indiantelevision dot com's Breaking News : Eutelsat boosts DTH service in Europe
		EUROBIRD 2 is a Ku-band satellite with a high-power Superbeam coverage that is focussed on western and central Europe, stretching from the British Isles and southern Scandinavia in the north, to Spain, Italy and Greece in the south, and across to Poland and Hungary in the east.
		SKYPLEX enables digital television and data broadcasters to uplink individually from the rooftops of their premises and to be directly received by DVB terminals, thereby bypassing the need to deliver signals to an on-ground multiplex through a contribution link.
		Through a configuration of narrowband and wideband transponders, EUROBIRD 2 is particularly well suited for one-way and two-way broadband services for consumer, SOHO and SME markets.

	Media Network Weblog » Blog Archive » Eurobird 10 suffers failure of solar panel
		The Eurobird 10 satellite (formerly Hotbird 3), which was moved to a new orbital position of 10 degrees East on the night of 3/4 October, has suffered a failure of one of its solar panels.
		The satellite is still operational, but with a reduced power and capacity. Eutelsat is working with the satellite’s makers, EADS Astrium, to investigate and hopefully fix the problem.
		If the problem cannot be rectified, it would be a serious financial blow to Eutelsat, which already had bookings for 55 million euros worth of business for Eurobird 10.

	Your Daily Briefing Of Satellite
		Joining the company’s three other digital DTH platforms on Eurobird, this new capacity, available this July, will provide broadcasters with much needed access to the over 7.6 million subscribers to the Sky Digital bouquet, and will also reach a potential 3.7 million cable subscriber homes.
		Globecast said the addition of this transponder is the company’s response to a spike in demand by broadcasters needing to target the British satellite television market.
		GlobeCast said its platforms on Eurobird are accessible to radio and television broadcasters on five continents via the company’s proprietary ATM fiber network, which interconnects 15 teleports and Technical Operations Centres worldwide, allowing for reception across Europe and the rest of the world by both Direct-to-Home and cable subscribers.

		It then released Eutelsat's EUROBIRD telecommunications satellite, followed by BSAT's BSAT-2a broadcasting satellite.
		The EUROBIRD satellite was built by an Alcatel-led industry consortium, while BSAT-2a was produced by Orbital Sciences Corp. under contract to BSAT.
		Tonight's mission was the sixth commercial flight of the Ariane 5, and the third Arianespace launch of 2001 (the two other launches were performed by Ariane 4s).

		BSAT-2a was built by Orbital Sciences Corporation of the U.S. as the first of a pair of direct-to-home digital television broadcasting satellites to be deployed for B-SAT.
		Eutelsat's EUROBIRD will provide continuity for telecommunications services currently supplied by the EUTELSAT II-F4, including business services, satellite news gathering and television/radio program distribution.
		EUROBIRD was built by an international consortium led by Alcatel Space Industries of France as the prime contractor.

		Eurobird (ex Irish Bird) won the Group 1 Irish St Leger, and Natski (ex Sweet Rhapsody) won the Grade 1 AJC Metropolitan and was second in the Melbourne Cup.
		Of these only Almaarad, Eurobird and Natski look anything like they should, deriving points in the stamina wing of their Dosage profiles from other sources, such as Crepello and Donatello II (Almaarad) and from Sea-Bird (Eurobird and Natski).

	Digital Spy Forums - Sky Digital channels on Eurobird C5H have moved to F2U and are now breaking up
		The change does not appear to have anything to do with Sky HD since the channels that have appeared on F2U etc. were all on Eurobird in the first place, and there is no HD on Eurobird.
		Theres nothing wrong with Eurobird 1, although some of the F series tp are on S2 steerable beam which is a little weaker in the uk than the fixed beam and the S1 beam.
		The transponders in use on Eurobird end up traveling down the cable at just under 2000MHz so the loss in the cable is more significant at the top end.

	Advanced Listening Guide
		Eurobird 28.5 east is part of the Astra/Eurobird cluster which broadcasts Sky, BBC, ITV, etc satellite channels to the UK.
		If you have a satellite dish previously installed for any of these, then it will already be in the right position to receive Cross Rhythms Radio.
		The coverage of Eurasiasat 1 overlaps with that of Eurobird in much of Europe, but has a wider footprint and will probably give a stronger signal for more easterly and southern locations.

		After having thunderstorms here in east Germany yesterday, I now have no signal on all Eurobird 1 stations.
		The signal strength is even better than normal as I have fiddled with the dish and now have 80%strength and 70% quality.
		Could it be that the ground transmitter is down for the Eurobird 1?
