Built for Eutelsat by Thales Alenia Space, Eutelsat's newest and most powerful satellite to date will be colocated with W4 at 36 degrees East to more than double resources at one of Eutelsat's fastest-growing neighbourhoods.
Through a configuration of up to 70 transponders connected to five high-performance fixed and steerable beams, W7 will provide coverage of Russia and sub-Saharan Africa for digital broadcasting services including pay-TV, and add significant resources and flexibility for expanding video and telecommunications markets in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and central Asia. The satellite will also enhance service provided since 2000 by SESAT 1, which after W7's entry into service at 36degrees East will be redeployed at an alternative location.
W7's launch marks the latest step in Eutelsat's far-reaching investment programme of new satellites designed to expand, renew and secure its in-orbit resources. Four further satellites will be orbited by the end of 2011 (W3B, KA-SAT, W3C and ATLANTIC BIRD(TM) 7).

Prime contractor - Thales Alenia Space
Platform: Spacebus 4000 C4
Launch mass: 5.6 tonnes
Solar array power: 15.8 kW
Payload power: 13.2 kW
Operational lifetime: 15 years
