[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 1147825, member: 176362"] Hey guys how many times do I have to point out that one a satellite is being actively manoevered from one slot to another the TLE's are pretty much worthless from the point it starts moving to the moment it slots into it new home? Anything that is having thrusters fired breaks all the calculations. They are not real time calculations - they are extrapolations based on predicted orbital movement across the sky. The simple fact that we have seen satellite positions "jump around" or "overshoot" a parking slot numerous times proves this is the case. Aas [USER=343008]@Marcus_21[/USER] can see the beacons then 5E is where it was, not where the TLEs were putting it! [/QUOTE]
