Hi

For anyone planning to look at the geosats this evening , might be worth
looking out for any flashes/flares from Alphasat   geosat at 25 degs east.

Inmarsat lost attitude control early this morning and have now issued the
following via Marsat.

Amongst other things this satellite handles Aero comms across Africa and
Arabia



Last data contact here was 0236 GMT from an a/c over the S Atlantic.

Regards

John
