22.14 GMT looks like the correct time for the launch it will be interesting to see what happens @ 18:14

I have to trust SpaceX :

Rocket moving to the pad tonight in advance of tomorrow's launch attempt. 6:14pm ET window opens. Weather 60% go.

So, according to SpaceX, window opens at 22:14 GMT.

By changing my PC's time zone, the visitspacecoast.com countdown timer will change accordingly (after page refresh).

So today's lesson is: don't blindly trust countdown timers!

Excellent News

I wonder where the testing will take place prior to the move to 52east?

I wonder where the testing will take place prior to the move to 52east?

According to hdvh in an earlier post its straight to 52E

 

[Marcus_21]

Receiving weak signals telemetry of Monacoat 1 to about 18°W.... frequency 11201,00 LHCP and 11449,00 LHCP.

 

[Marcus_21]

The MonacoSat 1, probably carried out a maneuver.... is no longer with the tracking LTE, but I note the telemetry to about 38,3°E.

 

[Marcus_21]

After 24 hours, is about 39,9°E..... moving to east of about 1,5° or 1,6° for day.

 

[tempo]

By recently updated TLE MonacoSat 1 is at 41.78°E at the moment.
So Marcus_21 was right about its true position.

 

[Marcus_21]

The TLE are incorrect, the satellite is reset to 43,9°E.... while is about 42,1°E

 

[Marcus_21]

From the last control the satellite MonacoSat 1 seems still to 42,3°E ..... between about 24 hours I will carry out a new control.

 

[solly]

tle 46 e now

 

[Marcus_21]

The TLE is wrong... is still on 42,2 ~ 42,3°E
