The Airbus-built Eutelsat HOTBIRD 13G satellite has reached its geostationary orbit, 36,000 km above us. A month after its twin satellite HOTBIRD13F, it completed its electric orbit raising in five months and used cameras to do visual checks to complement the comprehensive testing at its orbital position. While its twin was equipped with a black and white camera, HOTBIRD 13G, the eighth Airbus-built full-electric satellite, has a full colour device.
