ESA TV satellite coverage Odissea Mission
Follow the launch, docking and ingress of the Odissea Mission live via digital satellite.
You can follow the transmission from your home, provided you have a digital satellite receiver and a satellite antenna pointed to Astra. The ESA Television Service will make use of an Astra transponder instead of the "classical" Eutelsat 10-degree West transponder. The transmission can be received with a normal consumer satellite reception equipment - provided it is able to receive digital transmissions.
