EchoStar 1/5 (148.0W), Measat 2 (148E), Asiasat (formerly 98.5E now 100.5E)?
Java Jive
http://www.macfh.co.uk/JavaJive/AudioVisualTV/SatelliteTV/SatelliteCalculator.html
... I've just downloaded a new satellites.xml from ...
http://satellites-xml.eu/
... and various differences have led me to query some entries with
both Lyngsat and SatcoDX ...
http://www.lyngsat.com/
http://www.satcodx.com/eng/
... and, where possible, the spacecraft operators'/owners' websites.
If anyone can shed any definite light on the following differences I'd
be very grateful:
1) The xml and Lyngsat sites no longer list EchoStar 1/5 (148.0W) ...
http://www.lyngsat.com/america.html
... but SatcoDX does ...
http://satcodx6.tele-satellite.com/eng/
... and all I managed to find to indicate that it might have been
retired was this ...
http://www.satelliteguys.us/dish-network-forum/180100-echostar-1-drifting-east.html
Is it there or not?
2) The xml site no longer lists Thaicom 1A (120.0�E), but Lyngsat
does ...
http://www.lyngsat.com/asia.html
... and so does SatcoDX ...
http://satcodx4.tele-satellite.com/eng/
Presumably it is still there?
BTW, when Lyngsat list Thaicom as incl. 0.7� does mean that the
spacecraft's orbit is inclined so that its elevation will change
slightly over time, or the spacecraft itself is inclined thereby
giving a non-standard skew?
3) Neither the xml site nor Lyngsat list Measat 2 (148E) ...
http://www.lyngsat.com/asia.html
... but SatcoDX does ...
http://satcodx5.tele-satellite.com/eng/
... and so does the satellite operator's website ...
http://www.measat.com/satellite_148e_measat2.html
Presumably it is still there?
4) Noone lists Superbird A (158E) anymore ...
http://www.lyngsat.com/asia.html
http://satcodx5.tele-satellite.com/eng/
http://www.sptvjsat.com/en/business/satellite/list/
When did it go?
TIA for any definite information forthcoming ...
