Buyers coming back now.

[restassured] 19/7/2012 12:43

Yes but an old sea dog at the same time.

[yorgi] 19/7/2012 12:02

I'm afraid not Peter :-(

The BOD have talked of moving to the main market next year which will be welcomed I believe by most holders just a pity we are not already.

[petercrosby] 19/7/2012 12:00

Are these ISA friendly?

[rathlindri] 19/7/2012 11:54

restassured, your consistent deramping is falling on deaf ears, just out of curiosity, are you invested??

[restassured] 19/7/2012 11:50

Are we looking for a retest of the 350p level again,now that 400p has failed to hold?


One must assume alot of the punters will bail if it continues south.They were expecting instant riches.

[yorgi] 19/7/2012 11:43

I think I can comment for most of us here we most strongly hope that does not happen :-)

[bubbleandleek] 19/7/2012 11:33

or could dip to 200p if rocket blows up.... :-/ sorry, only kidding!

[undertaker] 19/7/2012 11:06

could dip into the 380 - 400 level.... opportunity to top up.

[someuwin] 19/7/2012 10:03

14 days to go till lift off.

Everything is coming together for the 2/8 launch. Quite exciting times. It seems a long time since H1 went up. I remember the thrill of watching the launch.

And we're all a part of this phenomenon.
Amazing.

July 17, 2012 – Ariane Flights VA208 & VA209

The two satellite passengers for Arianespace's next heavy-lift Ariane 5 mission are now undergoing final preparations at the Spaceport, while launcher components for the following flight have arrived in French Guiana – keeping up the pace to meet requirements of the company's international customer base.

Arianespace's upcoming mission is scheduled for August 2 with a dual payload consisting of the Intelsat 20 and HYLAS 2 telecommunications relay spacecraft. This flight is designated Flight VA208 in Arianespace's numbering system, representing the 208th mission of an Ariane family launcher since the maiden liftoff of an Ariane 1 version in 1979.

HYLAS 2 is designed with the latest Ka-band technology to deliver high-speed, low-cost two-way data communications for its operator, Avanti Communications. Configured with 24 fixed beams and one steerable beam, the satellite will provide data capacity to an increasing range of telecommunications, enterprise and government customers in the fast-growing markets of Eastern and Southern Africa, the Middle East and across the Caucasus.

Built by Orbital Sciences Corporation, HYLAS 2 has almost three times the bandwidth capacity of HYLAS 1 – launched by Arianespace in November 2010 – to substantially increase Avanti Communications' international coverage.

The Intelsat 20 passenger for Arianespace's upcoming flight was produced by Space Systems/Loral for Intelsat, a leading provider of Fixed Satellite Services (FSS) worldwide. This relay platform's C- and Ku-band payload is optimized for high-power distribution of video, voice and data network services, with the spacecraft to replace the Intelsat 7 and Intelsat 10 satellites, which are co-located at 68.5 degrees East longitude.

As the Intelsat 20 and HYLAS 2 payloads are being readied in the Spaceport's S5 payload preparation facility, the French Guiana site also is busy with launcher activity.

The Ariane 5 for Flight VA208 was transferred this week from the Spaceport's Launcher Integration Building – where it was assembled – to the Final Assembly Building, where the Intelsat 20 and HYLAS 2 satellites will be installed atop the vehicle. Its rollout opens the Launcher Integration Building to receive the Ariane 5 for Flight VA209, which was delivered from Europe to the Spaceport earlier this month aboard the MN Toucan roll-on/roll-off transport ship

Agreed yorgi, a pause to draw breath perhaps?

[yorgi] 18/7/2012 17:10

Disappointing day but wider aim market not having a good day but at least we are still holding above 400p, hopefully we will move on up but we all know full well nothing is for sure and in the market we have for the moment we can't count on anything.

[yorgi] 18/7/2012 14:01

Ah decisions Jonnib :-)

Unless the market gets worse I still think we will have 500p by LAUNCH (put that in capitals incase John misread it as lunch again) possibly even more. Then the question will be once Hylas 2 is up and operating whether there is some retrace from there or whether we carry on !

Jonnib have a peep at MIN as well.

[jonnib] 18/7/2012 13:45

Too busy wondering which of rkh,xel or rrl to put some of my profits in from here in a couple of weeks.
Good to see the price hold over the last few days. Was expecting a small re trace but pleasantly surprised. Come on avanti lets have a fiver pre launch!

[dolores123] 18/7/2012 11:40

Rath - good idea! I'm in profit but would prefer to see £6 ps pre lunch! LOL!

[yorgi] 18/7/2012 11:38

That could be it :-)

[rathlindri] 18/7/2012 11:32

We're all waiting for this to start moving north again so we can all comment on how smart we are... :-)

[2350220] 18/7/2012 11:19

Quiet here today, and several other boards I lurk on.
In fact, I think I just just heard a pin drop.

John

[rogerbridge] 17/7/2012 20:43

Solid end of day, let's hope tomorrow will contiue onwards and upwards.

[yorgi] 17/7/2012 16:44

It probably will be before lunch of the 2nd of next month John.......but don't rush things :-)

[2350220] 17/7/2012 16:38

Nice little tick up in the EoDay auction.

Yorgi, I'm so dycxloxic that I read your earlier post as '500p before Lunch'
I got quite excited for a few minutes :-)

John

[yorgi] 17/7/2012 16:16
