Eurobird was a series of satellites owned and operated by Eutelsat. The Eurobird satellites provided broadcasting and telecommunication services primarily to the Western and Central European region from orbital positions of 9, 25.5 and 33 degrees East. The Eurobird brand was phased out on 1 March 2012, with the satellites becoming part of Eutelsat's main fleet in a company-wide rebranding.
Eurobirds still in operation:
Eutelsat 33C (formerly Eurobird 1 and Eutelsat 28A), located at 33° East, carries no services at the moment.
Eutelsat 25B / Es'hail (formerly Eurobird 2), located at 25.5° East, was formerly Hot Bird 5 at 13° East. It is more commonly referred to as Arabsat 2D, and carries mostly free-to-air television.[1]
