An Astra satellite at 4.8°E serving Scandinavia, Central Europe, and sub-Saharan Africa. Astra-4A's position at 4.8°E provides strong coverage of Scandinavia — one of Europe's most satellite-connected regions — alongside an African beam that serves broadcasters reaching sub-Saharan Africa. The dual European-African coverage from a single satellite position makes Astra-4A one of SES's most geographically versatile assets.
