Eutelsat W3C

W3B was to be colocated at 7° East with Eutelsat's W3A satellite and will provide broadcast and telecommunications services across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. But following the problems of W2M shortly after launch, W3B was to take W2M's place to replace the aging W2 satellite. As a replacement for W3B's original mission at 7° east, Eutelsat ordered in March 2009 the identical Eutelsat W3C satellite.
