With NASA in your living room there's no need to go to the Cape...​
SES [Euronext Paris and Luxembourg Stock Exchange: SESG] and Encompass Digital Media, a digital media service provider, have signed a capacity deal making NASA TV channels available to satellite TV providers and cable outlets throughout the United States.


As part of the multi-year agreement, Encompass is utilizing a full transponder of C-band capacity on SES
 
NASA has been at 105W for a while now. And I don't get why they say that it's one of the most powerful satellites -- everybody I've seen talk about it says that NASA's signal was much stronger when it was at 87W, at least after SES-4 was placed at that location. But shortly after that happened, they left, despite just having moved to 87W a year or so ago. Apparently they didn't want to pay for a signal that could be received on a smaller dish. I saw where people were getting it on a 6-foot dish at 87, but not at 105.
