======================
Eutelsat announced that ATLANTIC BIRD 1 has been successfully launched
and is making its way to 12.5 degrees West over the Atlantic Ocean.

video distribution and contribution services and satellite newsgathering
as well as VSAT-based corporate networks and direct internet backbone
access for IP trunking.
