At the recent annual conference in Moscow region "SatComRus 2014 'announced CEO of RSCC (FGUP Kosmičeskaja svjazi) plan to modernize the Russian orbital positions 40 ° E, 80 ° E and 53 ° E.
The satellite operator RSCC now, after a failed launch Proton carrier rocket with a satellite Express AM-4R, which was originally planned to position 80 ° E, next start looking the same rocket. On 21 October 2014 the space to bring TV Express AM6, which is scheduled at position 53 ° E.
Express AM6 satellites on board 44 Ku-band transponders, 14 in C band and a record number of Ka-band and offers a total of 12 different volumes cover. In the event that the satellite will successfully put into commercial operation, satellite Express AM-22 position of 53 ° E moves 80 ° E.
Express AM22 or if Sesat 2 (the name used by the landlord Eutelsat capacity) is equipped with 24 transponders in Ku band with a bandwidth of 54 MHz. On this satellite have been repeatedly reported malfunctions. Satellite nevertheless continues to provide services.
The new position of the satellite Express AM22 work until 2018, then replaced by a new satelite Express 80 It is possible that the satellite will cease operation before and the position of 80 ° E then moves Express AM33, which is currently at 96.5 ° E and replacement satellites at this position is scheduled for the beginning of 2018.
In early 2015, at position 40 ° E operate the new satellite Express AM7. Later will be delivered AM8 Express (target position 14 ° W). All changes may affect the nearest Proton rocket launch - ie. Oct. 21, 2014 satellite Express AM6.
