The rocket carrier Ariane 5 successfully reached With orbit two communications satellites - Thor 7 and Sicral 2 . The first of These will be important for viewers in Central Europe, especially for subscribers platforms in the position of 0.8 ° W / 1 ° W Ariane 5 launcher took off from Kourou in French Guiana on Sunday, April 26, 2015. On board was a satellite Thor 7 for Norwegian operator Telenor Satellite Broadcasting (TSBc) and the Italian-French military satellite Sicral 2. Start went without any problems.

Thor 7 is the second satellite, Arianespace, which was delivered into orbit for the Norwegian satellite operator TSBc, the Thor 6 satellite in October, 2009. The new satellite was manufactured by Space Systems / Loral on the basis of the LS-1300 platform . When you launch a satellite has a weight of 4600 kg. Thor 7 includes a total of 21 active Ku-band transponders (11 tp. In Eastern Europe, and further Top 10 tp. As a reserve for the satellites Thor 5 and 6) and 25 Ka-band transponders. The satellite will be used at the position of 0.8 ° W, Which is the same place where they work now satellites Thor 5 and Thor 6 Thor 7 will ensure code transmission of radio and television broadcasting in Central and Eastern Europe. Ka-band capacity will serve this broadband for maritime transport, Including spot beam coverage of European waters. Life Expectancy is 15 years. The capacity of Ku-band transponders cover the whole of Central and Eastern Europe, where the reception is Sufficient antenna of small size (around 60 cm). Selected parameters of the satellite Thor 7: planned position: 0.8 ° W manufacturer Space Systems / Loral Platform: LS-1300 the number of transponders Ku: 21 Number of transponders Ka-25 estimated lifetime: 15 years
