Catalog numbers, years of issue, and notes on the satellites featured are given when available. If readers know of additional information or images, please contact the authors using the e-mail addresses at the bottom of this page.
The Eutelsat-1 series was also known as the European Communications Satellite (ECS) series. The Eutelsat-2 and later series dropped the ECS designation.
