ASTRA 2F Ariane 5 rocket will fly, not the Proton
Satellite operator SES moved the recent launching of the satellite ASTRA 2F from Baikonur in Bajkonurze (Kazakhstan) at the spaceport in French Guiana (Kourou). Finally, ASTRA 2F rocket will fly a European Ariane 5 rocket instead of a Russian Proton M By moving the start and the Proton M rocket from the Ariane 5 rocket SES can significantly accelerate the date of activation of the satellite in orbit and work ASTRA 2F. We do not know what is the reason for this decision.
Ariane 5 rocket from Kourou with the ASTRA 2F was scheduled for 14 September 2012.
ASTRA 2F is manufactured by Astrium. The satellite will be placed on a very important position at 28.2 ° E , the main items for digital broadcasting in the UK. ASTRA 2F is to have a very large number of transponders - up to 64 Ku-band and four Ka-band. It is possible that a strong demand for satellite capacity for the UK strongly accelerated the launch. Ariane 5 Flight number VA209, but also 2Fzabierze ASTRA Indian communications satellite SAT G-10, which is expected to position 83 ° E.

Who knows. Depends on what kind of contract RTE and Eutelsat have signed and for how long as well. A switch might be attractive for many people but would RTE want to run out the contract with Sky UK as well and instead transmit FTA over 2F Ka band ? And if not would a double transmission FTA+encrypted not lead to a suit ?
