36° East

EUTELSAT 36C

Eutelsat has leased capacity on the RSCC (Russian Satellite Communication Company) satellite, Express-AMU1, launched in 2015 to 36° East. Capacity is commercialised under the name EUTELSAT 36C.

This state-of-the-art high-capacity satellite provides coverage of the European part of the Russian Federation in Ku and Ka-bands and also ensures service continuity and growth for broadcast markets developed by Eutelsat in sub-Saharan Africa.

EUTELSAT 36C is transforming the broadcasting infrastructure at 36° East into a broader system to support more television services and IP-based applications to match the development of Russia’s digital entertainment market.

EUTELSAT 36D

The new EUTELSAT 36D satellite succeeds EUTELSAT 36B at 36° East.

Delivering over 1100 TV channels to millions of homes across a vast footprint, 36° East is a key orbital slot for broadcasters. Home to two powerful satellites, EUTELSAT 36C and EUTELSAT 36D, together they support the broadcast business of several major anchor customers.

With 70 physical Ku-band transponders, the all-electric EUTELSAT 36D assures all the main legacy missions of EUTELSAT 36B, with enhancements to coverage areas and performance.

Based on the state-of-the-art Airbus Eurostar Neo platform, the satellite was launched in 2024.
