@hvdh would you please advise me how/where to check these details accurately for myself please.
For an occasional check, without installing dedicated software & retrieving TLE's, go here (Java required):
Select satellite URL for detailed satellite information - Jens T. Sætre - http://www.satellite-calculations.com
Lookup and click the desired satellite. In this case for Nimiq 2:
Track NIMIQ 2 at 44.4°E and view detailed satellite position data
"Predicted Time next crossing" is shown in UTC (25.10.2015 00:35)
OR
Select satellite URL for plotting satellite motion - Jens T. Sætre - http://www.satellite-calculations.com
Lookup and click the desired satellite. In this case for Nimiq 2:
http://www.satellite-calculations.com/Satellite/satellitemotion.php?26/171/0/27632
The upper curve shows the motion for the next 24h.
