Two Russian telecommunications satellites “Express-AMU3” and “Express-AMU7” will be launched into geostationary orbit in 2021 year. This was stated by the general director of FSUE “Space Communications” (GP COP) Yuri Prokhorov at the Satcomrus conference.
The devices will be manufactured by the enterprise “The name Reshetnev information satellite systems” (ASCS) with the participation of the European company Thales Alenia Space Italia. The satellites will be launched in the interests of the GP KS and will occupy positions in the geostationary orbit 96,5 and 145 degrees in. d.
Earlier, the general director of ISS Nikolay Testoedov said, what satellites “Express-AMU3” and “Express-AMU7” were to be manufactured and run in 2020 year, however, plans were thwarted by the Covid-19 pandemic.
“To Turin, where Thales Alenia Space is located in Italy, suffered one of the most severe blows of the pandemic. They on 1,5 months delayed the delivery of the payload for “Express-AMU7” and for about five months they have been detaining her for “Express-AMU3”, - noted Testoedov.
Recall, 31 July 2020 years from the cosmodrome “Baikonur” satellites were launched “Express-80” and “Express-103”. The new vehicles were launched into the target geostationary transfer orbit, followed by placement in the geostationary orbit at 80 ° and 96.5 ° E.
The satellites are designed to provide services to the fixed, mobile communications, digital broadcasting, high speed internet access, as well as data transmission in the Russian Federation and abroad.

Ukraine in partnership with an Israeli operator are working on the creation of a joint communications satellite
Israeli satellite operator Spacecom in cooperation with the State Space Agency of Ukraine (GKAW) plan to develop a telecommunications satellite. This is reported by sources, familiar with the market situation.

Today, two satellites are already operating at this point - Amos 3 и Amos 7. This position is very popular among the owners of satellite dishes in Ukraine.. From Amos satellites 3/7 many Ukrainian TV channels broadcast.
The appearance of a new apparatus at the point 4 g w. will allow to increase the number of Ukrainian TV channels, distributed via satellite.
