Eutelsat, for 13E. Built by Matra Marconi/Velizy with Eurostar 2000 Plus bus. 2910 kg at launch. 1150 kg dry. 27.9m span. There was a problem during transfer orbit which threatened briefly to decrease the effective lifetime of the satellite.
On 2007 Mar 14 HB2 was hit by a solar flare and had to transfer traffic to HB8, but it was soon recovered and placed in a backup role.
