Question about the new Satellite and other general sat questions?...

[zipbags]

I am just curious. How many channels can these satellites transmit? And on a "just curious" note. I was watching a show about how vulnerable our satellites are to solar flares from the sun. Is their anyway of shielding them so they at least survive or are they all toast?

Thanks!
