Eutelsat has extended an agreement with the Russian Satellite Communications Company (RSCC) under which the latter provides key services to control Eutelsat satellites from its Dubna Satellite Communications Centre (SCC) near Moscow.
The deal, which is for a period of five years and comes into effect in September 2012, was signed in Paris during World Satellite Business Week by Michel de Rosen, Eutelsat CEO, and Yuri Prokhorov, CEO of RSCC.
The two parties have been working together since 1997, when RSCC was selected by Eutelsat to be a partner in its international ground station network following an international consultation.
