Sirius 4

[catseye]

According to L*ngsat -Sirius 4 is due to be launched in July this year & will replace the existing birds

I wonder if this will prove to be easier to pick up than the two currently in operation

Ive never been able to get all channels from this bird even with 1.2 meter dish!

[Correct]

In August/Proton/SIRIUS 4

An International Launch Services Proton rocket with a Breeze M upper stage will launch the SIRIUS 4 communications spacecraft for operator SES SIRIUS. The Lockheed Martin-built satellite will serve the Nordic and Baltic markets as well as to enhance coverage in Eastern Europe and Russia.
