60.0°E Intelsat 33e END-OF-LIFE DX>KU

Scan from my area

satesco you can compare with your scans

Bei mir geht mit 1,8m die 10963 H

Tomek22, @N-Stanislav,

Thanks to both of you for the spectrum posted. I hope such answers are helpful to those interested in checking reception in their area.

So, Tomek22 confirms that 10962 H is active and, I hope, has the same Tandberg service. Although we are in different areas, we receive the same spot.

Since satellites use multiple spots, like this one, we will have to collaborate more to ensure we don't make mistakes when finding and reporting feeds.

Regards

satesco just look, only these spots covers Europe

Spot 29, 33, 34, 41 works only in H-polarity

Spot 26, 27, 40, 48 works only in V-polarity

...

It seems that the program encoded on 10963 H,1860, is a regular feed or a permanent program because I see it activated all the time when I visit the position.

Here's the signal I have, and muxes activated at 60.0E:

...

10964 H,7000,3/4-Tandberg(enc),new symbol rate.

I post this mux, either feed or regular program, now with another symbol rate.

In the cold season, Nika TV has a significantly better signal.

I am taking advantage of this favorable weather so that this program seems receivable anytime (but it is not). I do not think the signal will stay at this level long.

Only black screen, don't see any program or feed transmission there

Endlich mal wieder regulärer Empfang mit 125 cm auf dieser Satelitenposition:

11485 H 1000 1/2: Al Gad FM, laut Flysat Spot N 34 mit 5 dB (CT 4100 +).
Legt man die Karte oben zu Grunde, ist der N 34 Beam relativ weit von meinem Standort entfernt.
Der verschlüsselte Tandberg Service Feed auf 10964 H kommt mit gut 15 dB rein.

Finally regular reception again with 125 cm on this satellite position:

11485 H 1000 1/2: Al Gad FM, acording to Flysat it is spot N 34 with 5 dB (CT 4100 +).

According to the map shown above, the N 34 beam is far away from my location.

The encrypted Tandberg feed on 10964 H can be received with 15 dB.

My reception at this time

...Locked this one here too today on 2.2m from my place...

Empfang auf 11485 H ist mit 125 cm nach wie vor möglich, ohne Aussetzer mit 4.4 dB beim D15.

Reception on 11485 H is still possible at 125 cm, without dropouts at 4.4 dB on the D15

Today was malfunction on this satellite. Onboard CPU failure. Lost Sun/Earth orientation.

Ah, thanks for this info N_Stanislav ... because I checked just an hour before my signal on 11485 H 1000 1/2 Al Gad FM... no any signal seen on complete spectrum... than I "switched" to position 62.0°E...

Since October 19, IS-33e failed and probably can not be recovered.

qwer pls check C-band on 62e and 46t. I think afriacan channels should be moved somewhere near.

Intelsat 33e covering Africa, ME and APAC destroyed after power failure

"On Sunday, in a post on X (formerly Twitter), U.S. Space Command confirmed that Intelsat 33e had broken up, and that it was “currently tracking around 20 associated pieces.”

Let´s hope, that there were not any other satellites in that area damaged by these pieces.
