ABS-7 was a geostationary communication satellite operated by ABS (formerly known as Asia Broadcast Satellite) which was designed and manufactured by Lockheed Martin on the A2100 platform.[1] It featured 30 Ku-band and 3 Ka-band transponders to serve Afghanistan, the Middle East, and Pakistan operating from 116.1EL.[2]
In May 2010, the satellite was sold to ABS and renamed into ABS-7.[3] Its original name was Koreasat 3. The satellite was de-orbited from the geostationary arc and retired on February 16, 2022.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
