Astra Promo 1994 Part 2

[JRRacing85]

I don't know who put together the score for this presentation but it was very very well done!

[RS250Squid]

4:10 - I would say I am absolutely certain I've heard this music before - Yes I've heard it before regularly since I was 9 in 1994 - but is it an actual REAL tune?

Either way, still sticks in my mind :-).

[FutureSimpsons]

what's the music at the end please.

[ravcio1980]

@FutureSimpsons: Prokofiev - Romeo and Juliet (Dance of the Knights)

if i operated Astra the signal would be picked up in Russia Europe UK and Ireland and North America.

[AnthonyUK]

But Astra's markets are mainly Europe and the UK;a true pan european signal and footprint would go from Canary Is in the West across to the whole of the Middle East and from the United Kingdom to Western and Central Russia and from North Scandinavia to North African parts, this would cover over 40 countries like Eutelsat does and give a massive coverage for the markets and countries that you wish to serve.

[AnthonyUK]

Also by having a single orbital position with that massive coverage you would only need one small dish antennae across that massive footprint(except for outlying areas where 80cm and above dishes are needed)I mention of Europe/Middle East/North Africa/Canary Is./and all countries to Western and Central Russia to get hundreds of great European and international services at one solitary position without the cost-expensive option of lots of orbital positions as currently exists with SES-Astra.

[FutureSimpsons]

i remember this it was one of the highlights of my youth.

[ircazo]

yeah, same here!

[nppaul]

mee too :D

[AnthonyUK]

If I operated the astra satellite, the coverage area would run from UK down to cyprus greece and turkey and from the Canary Is. through N&E Europe up to Russia and from the top of Scandinavia down to the Med.
