Paris-based Eutelsat on Feb. 9 said its 117 West A satellite is scheduled for a SpaceX launch in April. The satellite will be part of a dual mission with Bermuda-based ABS's ABS-2A satellite. Both are Boeing-built all-electric satellites that, using their electric propulsion to climb into operating position, will take between six and seven months to reach their destinations in geostationary orbit.

Peter B. de Selding забыл, что Eutelsat 117 West A уже почти три года на орбите.

Eutelsat 117 West B (SATMEX 9)
 
Satelites Mexicanos S.A.B. de C.V. (Satmex) announced in July 2013, that it has contracted with the construction of Satmex 9 to Boeing Satellite Systems as part of a four satellite ABS/SATMEX deal. SATMEX was acquired be Eutelsat in 2014 and was rebranded Eutelsat Americas. In May 2014, it was renamed Eutelsat 117 West B.
Eutelsat 117 West B is a satellite with 48 Ku band 36 MHz equivalent transponders, capable of serving all of Satmex's Latin American customers in the video, telecommunications and government sectors. Co-located with Satmex 8 at the 116.8° W orbital position, Eutelsat 117 West B will be designed to provide capacity to Satmex's DTH and telecommunication customers. The satellite will be constructed on the BSS-702SP bus - a version that features an all-electric propulsion system.
The satellite is part of a joint order by ABS and SATMEX of four BSS-702SP satellites. The first two satellites, ABS 3A and Satmex 7, are scheduled to be delivered together in late 2014 or early 2015.

Today was the schedule for the Falcon 9 Static Fire, but no sign of her yet. NROL-37 isn't pulling rank on the Range?
