An Astra satellite at 19.2°E — the fourth spacecraft SES Astra maintains at this orbital position simultaneously. Having multiple satellites at 19.2°E provides redundancy that protects the European DTH market against a single satellite failure that would otherwise knock out television service for hundreds of millions of viewers. Astra-1N's addition also provided the headroom for Ultra HD broadcasting at 19.2°E — the next-generation video standard now being rolled out across European satellite TV.
