RSCC and Eutelsat sign Moll for new satellite

摘要

The Russian Satellite Communications Company (RSCC), Russia's state satellite operator, and Eutelsat Communications have announced the signature of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that will expand their longstanding strategic partnership in satellite communications. According to the MOU, a new satellite will be launched in 2015 to 36 degrees East, the most popular neighbourhood for satellite TV in Russia. The new spacecraft will be designed to optimise capacity at a multi-satellite position, delivering new resources to both RSCC and Eutelsat for consumer broadcasting and multimedia services within a footprint of European Russia to the Urals.
