WHY are you getting so excited? If this is being taken from the satellite tracking sites we KNOW they are wrong when the tv birds are being moved between orbital slots - often badly wrong by several degrees.. If the TLE has have just been updated then the bird started moving a few days ago and could be several degrees away from where you think it is..
 
Please try to reduce the countdown to the essential news, just when the 13F is already in place !! The only way to be sure (in real time) of its movement is monitoring its beacons with a motorized dish. According to confidential material the time space for 13F arrival and starting services is between last week and this one. It's not like parking a car.........

Its FAR more complicated than parking a car!! If you dont kill the momentum correctly when parking a car all you are going to do is bend the bumper a little, and you only have 2 dimentions to worry about (forward/back & sideways). Parking a satellite adds in the up/down direction & if you dont kill the momentum correctly its going to wander off station & you are going to waste thruster fuel bringing it back on station.

If you insist on giving us a countdown every time its moved a couple of tenths of a degree Im going to start deleting your location posts so please stop. Its cluttering up the thread for no good reason. Maybe one of our motorised equipped guys can give us an accurate location soon.
 
Checking the telemetry signals, I don't notice any movement.
Also the polarities of the telemetry signals are still linear, whenever the hotbird 13F and 13G started moving, they switched to circular polarity.
However, I will continue with the checks also in the next few hours, to confirm or deny if he is moving.
 
OK now we know the tracking sites are wrong AGAIN any further posts suggesting a small locational change will be deleted. If anyone insists on keep on posting them thern I shall restrict their account from posting until after 13F arrives at 13East.
 
I confirmed by the TLE datas not have updated in the websites satellite's tracking
According to his HOTBIRD 13F have been retrograded to 1.55°E after to arrival at 1.67°E
 
satelliclub, you have already written misleading information many times from pages that are only informative (maybe he cannot understand that these sources cannot be trusted)
