SATELLITE PERIOD:
 
With the latest TLE, BSat-4a seems to have reached a testing location near 104°E.
Intelsat 37e will take much longer to become geostationary because of electric propulsion.
 
BSat-4a testing location is 103.8°E to be exact.

If the TLE's are to be believed, Intelsat 37e is not being drifted near 18°W at all. Instead, 37e has arrived near 84.5°E. :confused

Intelsat 37e has finally started the journey from 84.55°E test location to 18.0°W final location.
Drifting 5.2°W/day according Intelsat ephemeris, arrival at 18.0°W will be about 20 February.

Moving fast. Do we expect any TV in Ku band on here or just Data?
