[QUOTE="a33, post: 1104130, member: 332642"] BTW 45E is now at 45.13E, according to [URL="https://nl.kingofsat.net/pos-45E.php"]Intelsat 38 (45°E) - Alle uitzendingen - Frequenties - KingOfSat[/URL] So when outlining zero with a USALS setup, I usually check Kingofsat and adjust the orbital position in my receiver, of the satellite that I set my motor setup on.
