Where is 2B going?

[adonis1]

I' m getting now only 11758 H (inclination 1.55°) at 6.1 db, but no channels.

Right now...
11758H 17.2db
12149H 9.6db
12460H 10.8db!
I don't know if the bird is in place right now, but the first frequency is booming here!

11758H coming in here at 6.2dBW atm. Nowt on the other two.

1.6 degrees north atm

Real time satellite tracking for: ASTRA 2B

2B is probably a placeholder for the new Hellassat / Arabsat bird

3 months - therfore "activating" a slot of some sort

Astra 2B (incl. 1.9°) arrived at 19.4°E.

Other old Astra movements:
Astra 3A (incl. 3.5°) now moving from 86.85°W to 47.0°W (arrives mid-Feb.)
Astra 1H (incl. 3.5°) left 55.33°E, moving West 0.5°/d, near 51°E now.

Astra 1H arrived at 43.5°E, the well-known Astra test location.

SES has once again "updated" the Technical Data pages (with Centre of Box and Ephemeris), but actually went back to a link database of a few years ago that had several errors.
Centre Of Box
Ephemeris Data
Links for Astra 1G show 1F, for Astra 1KR show 1H, and the newest SES-9 and SES-10 are not there at all!

A nice side effect, it is clear now where the drifting Astra 1H (incl. 4.2°) is going to: 67.1°W (in-orbit spare for SES-10).
Astra 1H left 43.5°E on October 7, and will reach 67.1°W in February.

Astra 2B (incl. 2.6°) is at 19.6°W since August 1.

The above errors have been fixed already, is SES reading this maybe? Well then, MONACOSAT CoB & ephemeris links still need fixing!

 

[hvdh]

Astra 2B (incl. 2.6°) is at 19.6°W since August 1.

According SES CoB, the 2.8° inclined Astra 2B next location will be back again to 19.4°E, and is already on its way.
Arrival then will be in the 2nd half of June.

I think it got bored on being in a stagnant orbit, hence it is goin out for a stroll.
