Eutelsat Satellite Ceases Operations After Anomaly

Eutelsat's 113 West A geostationary orbit satellite halted operations following a Jan. 31 anomaly, the company said Friday. Launched in 2006, the satellite was approaching its end of life, Eutelsat added. The satellite provided C- and Ku-band coverage in the Americas. Eutelsat said it's transferring capacity to other geostationary satellites.
