The EUTELSAT 21B is based on the Thales Alenia Spacebus C3 platform and has a design lifetime over the year 2027. EUTELSAT 21B is the 20th satellite delivered to Eutelsat by Thales Alenia Space. The satellite was launched in November 2012 to the position 21,5° East, where it replaced EUTELSAT 21A. Eutelsat 21B offers significantly increased capacity, with 40 Ku-band transponders, and improved power and coverage.

Over the past decade, 21,5° East has become a major orbital position for data services like VSAT (iDirect, Newtec, UHP, Comtech), professional video and government services. In addition to an enhanced widebeam across Europe into North Africa and Central Asia, the satellite also features two dedicated high power beams covering North-West Africa and the Middle East.
