Eutelsat Seeks US Market Access for Forthcoming Eutelsat 113 West B

Eutelsat expects to put its Eutelsat 113 West B satellite into geostationary orbit in 2027, it told the FCC Space Bureau in a petition posted Wednesday seeking U.S. market access in the Ku, Ka, Q and V bands. The French- and Mexican-flagged satellite will provide fixed service and mobility applications in the Americas, Eutelsat said. The company said that while it has U.S. market access for the Eutelsat 113 West A satellite in the same orbital location, that market access grant is being surrendered.
