Welcome to SatelliteGuys!

OK...I couldn't stand it any more. I had to register and ask about the update frequency. I thought I read earlier that the n2yo updates only daily. Right now it shows 130.81 and I have seen it change twice in the last hour.
How frequently is this updated or is it live?

P.S. Greetings Jim in Lubbock (an HDF buddy)

I enjoy the comic attempts concerning the subject of this thread, but what is the status of Ceil II as of this date? Facts only, please.

90% of posters do not read the previous posts before posting.

Starting to think that 90% is too low...

Well, it's "live" as far as changing in real time is concerned. However, it uses TLE data from NORAD that could be hours or days old. If the sat changes course right after a new TLE, the "live" data would IMMEDIATELY be wrong until the next TLE data is sent.

Pretty soon, SES will be raising the orbit of CIEL 2 to slow it down as it approaches 129W. We probably won't see this right away, and the info on n2yo will PROBABLY show the sat zooming past 129. This is what everyone is joking about today.

Hope this helps, and to satelliteguys.

In my 22 years on the Internet, this sort of post has never worked.

90% of posters do not read the previous posts before posting.

True, but it will better justify our righteous indignation.

A question for the transponder experts.

What is the technical difference between 8PSK rate 2/3 (used for Conus) and 8PSK Turbo Rate 2/3 (used for most of the spots-excluding southeast)?

 

[Aqualung812]

Does it appear to have slowed? I have not been watching it constantly like some here may, but it seems like it was moving faster this morning than it is now. I assume that means that we got an update and they had already fired a slowdown burn.

Some members went into the details on these already in this forum:

You're like a kid tracking santa claus

If Ciel-2 goes past 129 W, it has to go all the way around the Earth at 2 degrees per day and take another shot at it.
