Hey gang, found this little nugget......

Midway down the page, EchoStar 19 (Jupiter 2). Of course we all know launch dates are very fluid but the most specific one I've seen so far. Fingers crossed.

    That's creepy. I'm sure you all can't really comment though. Like I said, very sunbject to change. One funny thing on the page, when clicking on the blue EchoStar 19 link it takes you to a European satellite operator (SES) instead of EchoStar page.

    Can take at least several months before parked in final orbit and a thorough testing is completed. Trying to remember but I think Jupiter 1 was launched in August and the first customers where in November.
