Malaysian satellite operator Measat announced Tuesday it has ordered a new satellite from European satellite manufacturer EADS Astrium. Measat-3b will be a Eurostar E3000 model satellite weighing 5.8 tonnes at launch and carrying 48 Ku-band transponders. Measat will locate the satellite at 91.5 degrees east in GEO, co-located with two other satellites to provide communications services for India and East Asia. The satellite will be the largest in Measat's fleet when launched in late 2013.
