Eutelsat W1

 2000-052A

---

Launch mass is 3250 kg. Dry mass is 1430 kg. Size is 2.5 x 3.4 x 5.0m, 8.0m high deployed, Span 31.7m. Stage 3 plus VEB has a mass of 2190 kg. Launch due 2000 Sep to 10E to replace 2F4.

Eutelsat W1 will occupy the 10E orbital slot. The first Eutelsat W1 satellite, an Alcatel Spacebus 3000, was damaged in a fire in the Cannes factory in 1998. Construction of a second Eutelsat "W1R", another Spacebus 3000, was begun as well as a ground spare, called Ressat, built by Matra Marconi Space/Toulouse (now part of the Astrium company) and using a Eurostar 2000+ bus. This second Eutelsat W1 was reassigned to become Eurobird, and will be launched to 28E, with Ressat becoming the third and final Eutelsat W1. This satellite, the Eurostar 2000+, was the one launched on Sep 6. Its mass is 1430 kg, with a further 1820 kg of propellant at launch for its Primex R-4D liquid apogee engine. The box-shaped 2.5 x 5.0 m satellite has two rectangular solar panel arrays spanning 31.7m and two dishes, a European beam and a steerable beam. The payload includes 28 Ku-band transponders.

The satellite was named Eurobird 4A at some point, probably in June 2009.
