The EUTELSAT 113 West A satellite suffered an anomaly on 31st January and has ceased operations.
Launched in 2006 and operating in inclined orbit at the 113° West position, EUTELSAT 113 West A (ex-Satmex 6) provided coverage of the Americas in C- and Ku-bands serving customers in video, data, and Government services on 18 operational transponders.
Eutelsat said mitigation actions are underway to minimize the disruption to customers. The company notes that the satellite was pproaching its end-of-life and thus was no longer insured. The loss does not alter Eutelsat’s financial objectives for FY 2024.
