EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Eutelsat communications satellite against the backdrop of a radiant Sun. Created by artist Detlev van Ravenswaay, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of Eutelsat's operations. As a French company, Eutelsat operates an impressive fleet of over 25 satellites in geosynchronous orbit, providing extensive coverage across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, India, and parts of the Americas. The geosynchronous nature of these satellites allows them to remain fixed above specific locations on Earth while moving north-south each day. In this artwork, we can see the solar panels adorning the satellite's surface in striking blue hues - harnessing solar power to fuel its operations in space. Highlighted alongside are both broadcasting and receiving antennas that enable seamless transmission and reception of thousands of television and radio channels. These antennas play a crucial role in connecting people across vast regions with quality entertainment and information. Detlev van Ravenswaay's artistic representation not only celebrates technological advancements but also evokes a sense of wonder about our ability to communicate effortlessly across continents through space-borne infrastructure. This stunning illustration serves as a reminder that innovation knows no bounds when it comes to expanding human connectivity beyond borders.
