Astra 1N - made it to geostationary orbit, now the fun starts

Has the TLE data been updated for today?

28.79. Err no

28.79. Err no

Obviously not then,as the sat must be around 28.2

We hope so!!! Fingers crossed for some illumination tomorrow, I'm curious to see the field strength considering 1N's TP's are much more powerful than any other craft already operating at 28.2E.

We're pretty sure now the satellite is on right position,it's up to SES to decide when to switch on txp's

No, it's just that the tracking site doesn't correspond with what the satellite is actually doing.

No signals on the 10950-11200 band yet

Doesn't look like it today, possibly tomorrow! Llew's the best man to answer if there's been any activity as he's monitoring it with his Rx and PC software.

im eguarly waiting them coming live so i can get the info so i can update satillete.xml so i can scan them and wait for ch4 hd move so i get a stronger signal on it

n2yo reports that Eutelsat W3C is at 15.34 so testing must begin soon.

Hopefully the signals will be booming in!

 

[dvdfilm]

strange thing n2yo has updated 1N's position (it said well over 29 degrees previously) but still says 28.8 which can't be correct

Time to close this thread as 1N going on air is imminent, so to end the speculation I'll start a new thread.
