Mission success - both sats safely delivered into orbit.

This rather nice graphic shows Gsat15 passing over India prior to release from the composite

West Africa one looks interesting.

I intercepted this morning two signals telemetry at about 24,4°E, frequency 11200,50 LHCP and 11202,00 RHCP... seem Badr 7 (Arabsat 6B ).

That will be the usual "overshoot" as the tracking sites take a couple of days to catch up with manoeuvred satellites. It will jump back to 26E when the tracking catches up.

First test carrier for the Badr 7 at 26°E, frequencies 11270 H and 11310 H

More test carriers reported here FlySat Badr-7 @ 26° East

I will check out these after the Football

Observed 11200H - 11270H test carriers & 11200V active carrier with a 12 channel line up not active after the scan was completed

William, any luck in Essex?

William, any luck in Essex?

No this transponder is on the very tight Pan Arab beam so no reception in the East of England even with a very big dish

So we know that some of the test transmissions can be received here in the UK but Badr-7 also has some very tight beams like Badr-5 & 6,
Time will tell what we end up with when they decide to move 1 or 2 satellites from here to 34 east & other locations.

 

[Captain Jack]

I did get a couple of transponders on Badr 5 on my 1.5m Gibby and a lot of Badr 6 were just under luck, so hoping a 1.8m will bring them in.

Like you say, can only wait and see how much overspill Badr 7 will have. Let's hope it's not a complete pig like Nilesat 201 or Es'hail...

Thanks for that 'W' ..........seems we are ok here.

1.2m dish, Badr 7 reception showing the same strength as Badr 5:-

 

[MCelliotG]

As expected not a tiny fragment of signal in Northern Greece too! I wonder how big the dish needs to be! I receive some Badr6 frequencies during the night and 11227 from Badr5 only!

 

[humaxboy1]

Slovenia, 1.2m Laminas...if this is really Badr 7 then it should stay like that ..
Signal level cca the same as on Badr5. Badr 6 still the weakest in my area, but still some trp are receivable...
