At 9:00 p.m. EST, on the National Geographic Channel (U.S.), the focus is on a brand new WORLD'S TOUGHEST FIXES Episode, with coverage of SES AMERICOM's NSS-9 satellite. The satellite launch from Kourou is examined — not an easy task in the middle of a jungle as scientists and engineers get ready to place this US$100m, 2-ton satellite into orbit. The National Geographic Channel's WORLD'S TOUGHEST FIXES will now air each Thursday at this time slot.
