Reliability and service


ASTRA pioneered satellite co-location at single orbital positions, which provides a unique form of in-orbit back-up. If a transponder fails, there’s always another ready to take over.

This system guarantees the best operational security and reliability.

Co-location allows you to extend your services at 19.2°E and gives viewers more choice from the same DTH reception equipment.
