Ka-Sat net-dedicated spacecraft ready for launch

 Ka-Sat net-dedicated spacecraft ready for launch: "Europe is about to get a second satellite dedicated to delivering broadband internet connections.

The six-tonne Ka-Sat will be launched atop a Proton rocket from Baikonur in Kazakhstan in a flight expected to last nine hours and 12 minutes.

The Eutelsat-operated spacecraft will concentrate its services on customers in the so-called 'not-spots' of Europe.

It is estimated that tens of millions of households in these areas cannot get a decent terrestrial connection.

Ka-Sat will provide homes with speeds generally up to 10Mbps."
