Eutelsat announced a plan for a high-capacity triple-mission satellite. The satellite, Eutelsat 172B, “will support sustained demand for capacity for data, fixed and mobile broadband services as well as video,” Eutelsat said Thursday in a news release (http://bit.ly/1ioBXqJ). It will launch in 2017 to the 172 degrees east orbital position, it said. It also will host a C-band payload that will enhance service provided to existing customers and tap into new growth markets in Southeast Asia, it said.
