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!

Launch reset to T-20 due to weather
The launch has been held at T-20 in violation of both Thick Clouds and Attached Anvil Clouds. There is currently no T-0 launch time set as the launch teams try to evaluate a possible clearing of the weather to enable a launch attempt today.
 
Türkmen president is pleased so far. Geotransfer orbit is reached.

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.
 
After 24 hours, is about 39,9°E..... moving to east of about 1,5° or 1,6° for day.
 
By recently updated TLE MonacoSat 1 is at 41.78°E at the moment.
So Marcus_21 was right about its true position.

The TLE are incorrect, the satellite is reset to 43,9°E.... while is about 42,1°E
 
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.
 
The TLE is wrong... is still on 42,2 ~ 42,3°E
