SES Plans to Swap AMC-6, AMC-3 Satellites

SES hopes to move its AMC-6 satellite from 72 degrees west to 67 degrees west and swap it with AMC-3, which then will relocate to 72 degrees west, the satellite company said in an FCC International Bureau filing Friday: The swap will let it "better respond to customer requirements" at the two orbital locations and improve its fleet management. The relocated AMC-6 will operate at 67 degrees west in conjunction with AMC-4, which already is there, SES said.
