 2001-011A


Eutelsat's Eurobird satellite, originally Eutelsat W1, is a Spacebus 3000B2. The first W1 was destroyed in a ground fire at Cannes on 1998 May 18 and declared a launch. A new Eutelsat W1 was then built, to be launched in 2000 to 28E. It was renamed Eurobird when Ressat became the new W1 in 2000.

Launch mass is 3050 kg. Size is 3.5 x 3.4 x 2.3m with 29m span.
