Hi

I have been monitoring the gradual deterioration of signals from this 
bird for a few days.

The following has just been broadcast by one of the other sats in the 
fleet , with no explanation.....

TO : ALL MOBILE EARTH STATIONS

SUBJECT: TRANSFER OF SERVICES FROM EMEA ALPHASAT AF1 (25 DEG EAST)

PLEASE BE AVISED THAT WE HAVE TRANSFERRED INM-C SERVICES FROM EMEA 
ALPHATSAT AF1 (25 DEG EAST) TO I4F2(63.9 DEG EAST)


SHOULD YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS OR COMMENTS THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO RAISE ON 
THSI MATTER PLEASE CONTACT CUSTOMER SUPPORT
EITHER BY EMAIL TO GLOBALCUSTOMERSUPPORT[AT]INMARSAT.COM OR BY TELEPHONE 
ON 44(0)207 728 1300

REGARDS
INMARSAT


Alphasat carries a large amount of traffic from AOR east right across to 
the Indian Ocean.

Does anyone have any further info on this outage.

TLEs seem to indicate that its "ops normal"
Little chance of any visuals from here [UK] tonight due weather.


Many thanks

John
