There is an info that Express-AM7 will be delivered direct to destination location 40°E by several engine burnings, so I guess IOT will be at 40°E.

After 24 hours, the satellite has shifted to the east of about one degree.

The telemetry was commuted to LHCP.

Lit the beacon on-station in C-Band (3800.00 R) it is likely that the tests in C-Band begin shortly....

What is current orbital position by your estimation?
I have started my monitoring of 39-40°E yesterday.

At about 40E, I took as a reference the Paksat 1R at 38E. However there is a certain margin of error, because the disk is too small for the C-Band (150 cm)

I note two beacons to 40E (11699.00 H and 11699.50 V) perhaps coming from express AM7

It's windy as hell here .I was reluctant to move my dish to 40East.
But couldn't resist having a look.
Is this the one.
TBS 6925 100cm Dish.

Edit .Nope it looks like it is of 39E.:)
