Eutelsat Group (ISIN: FR0010221234 - Euronext Paris / London
Stock Exchange: ETL) today announces the successful launch and
deployment of its EUTELSAT 36D satellite. SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket
launched the satellite into a Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GEO) on
March 30, 2024 at 5:52 p.m. ET from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy
Space Center, Florida, USA.
Based on the Airbus Eurostar Neo platform, EUTELSAT 36D will

will operate alongside EUTELSAT 36C. Embarking 70 physical Ku-band

The satellite also includes additional flexibility and coverage
options, enabling to balance the loading between its different
missions.

36D is now on its way to replace EUTELSAT 36B at the 36° East
orbital position. We are looking forward to its entry into service

take our long-lasting relationship with Airbus to the next level.
My congratulations to the Eutelsat Group, Airbus and SpaceX teams
for the completion of another successful satellite program.”
