On this day in 2010 (21 May) after years of preparation and rescheduled launches, the Astra
3B satellite finally entered orbit …
SES Astra, permitted me to follow the manufacture and launch programme of their Astra 3B, one of the biggest satellites ever launched but otherwise an everyday, common-or-garden satellite tasked with reflecting digital TV signals down onto
Germany and Holland. It would be built mostly in Toulouse, flown from Betzdorf in Luxembourg and launched from the huge space complex at Kourou in French
Guiana, South America. After 500 seconds it was out of gas and within a half hour successfully positioned in high orbit. Astra's up there now, in a highly elliptical loop; sometimes 36,000 km away and sometimes swooping down to just 250km above
our heads.
