Ciel 2 Tracking

[JohnH]

This mornings TLE indicates it is back at the previous altitude. The confusion begins and usually when that happens the bird is more or less home.

I actually have a stronger signal, but that's probably because I have my wacky 119/129 Dish 500 setup. Since it moved towards 119, it's closer to the 9 degree separation the DISH is focused on.

Maybe its on its way to the 61.5.
Then we can get a New Satellite instead of old used ones from the other orbital locations. Not fair you guys in the west already got E*11.

Monday it was reveled that Nimiq-5 (72.7) is set to launch in the beginning of August by ILS. So that's something headed to the EA.

Ciel 2 will be live by month end for sure ;0 Good ridance E5!!!

I wonder how much of a signal difference we will see on 129??

On a good day most of mine will read around 28 to 33 signal strength.

110 and 119 will read in the 70's

Yeah 129 I get around 50's-60's and 110-119 those our fine get like 90s-100s.

 

[dgpruitt]

I can only manage 22-24 signal strength on 129. Hope the new sat improves my reception.

 

[dangue]

I just got repointed to 129 yesterday due to an international migration. Seems like great timing on my end. I can't wait!

I almost looks like they over shot it ... this could also be part of the testing too I imagine ...

It still has around a 1.5 degree per day drift rate ...

I think they should move E5 to 61.5 so you can fully appreciate what a piece of work us spoiled westerners have enjoyed these past years.

Ain't that the truth!

Isn't this just where it would be based on info from the last TLE.not taking into account it might have stop ?

 

[jacmyoung]

I think at this point we need our fine experts to let us know the moment the C-2 starts to phone home.
