Eutelsat Hot Bird 13F & 13G

Good news. So it was all OK I believe.
 
Paris, 15 October 2022 – Eutelsat Communications (Euronext Paris: ETL) announced that EUTELSAT HOTBIRD 13F satellite was successfully launched into Geostationary Transfer Orbit by American space launch provider SpaceX using a Falcon 9 rocket that lifted off from Cape Canaveral, Florida, USA at 01.22 pm Eastern time on October 15th (corresponding to 5.22 am UTC and 7.22 am CET on October 15th).
The separation of the all-electric satellite occurred after a 35-minute flight and the spacecraft systems initialisation was successfully completed over a period of 3 hours.
EUTELSAT HOTBIRD 13F is one of two satellites built by manufacturer Airbus Defence and Space. EUTELSAT HOTBIRD 13F is based on the Eurostar Neo telecommunications satellite platform, developed under an ESA Partnership Project with Airbus designed to foster innovation and competitiveness in the European space industry.
Once into orbit and positioned, the satellite EUTELSAT HOTBIRD 13F will, with its twin EUTELSAT HOTBIRD 13G, reinforce and enhance the broadcast of more than a thousand television channels into homes across Europe, Northern Africa and the Middle East. Moreover, the satellites will offer advanced features in terms of uplink signal protection and resilience.
The two satellites will be replacing three older satellites at Eutelsat’s 13° East flagship neighbourhood position.
Pascal Homsy, Eutelsat Chief Technical Officer said: "Our congratulations to the Eutelsat, Airbus and SpaceX teams for successfully launching our EUTELSAT HOTBIRD 13F satellite into geostationary orbit. This satellite brings the latest technology resources of the new Eurostar Neo platform at our leading 13-degree East position and confirms a long-term partnership between Airbus and Eutelsat”.

Surely that should be 'am' too?
 
7.22 am CET is 1.22 am Eastern
Yeah wasn't aimed at you, a bit poor for a Eutelsat's press release.

I strongly agree with you...Eutelsat poor in their statement, poor in providing coverage map, late in their timing that launch should be done in 2021 ..all useless
 
I think Eu. will keep the footprint secret until the 13F enters full commercial service to avoid losing business bcuz the coverage is shocking for Eu. Clients
 
hotbird 13f & 13g satellite reach his right location after lounch 45 or 90 days...
after this i hope hotbird 13f and 13g satellite define his right location for european and middle eastren and others countries map

I am still hopeful that coverage map wont be changed
 
I think that coverage map will appear with the launch of the 13g , and according to the first 13f, it is super coverage and the second is general 80ku
