Title: List of satellites in geo orbit
Post by Eric Johnston on Nov 23^rd, 2012 at 12:39pm

I have just updated my list of satellites in geo orbit:
See https://www.satsig.net/sslist.htm

Any checks for errors or omissions appreciated.

Best regards, Eric.

Thanks Eric.
I came across a great application with a lot of up-to date information on satellites and their position at
https://www.satellite-calculations.com/Satellite/satellitelist.php

Enjoy.

I have done a further update of the list today.
See: https://www.satsig.net/sslist.htm

The number of satellites in geo orbit seems to have increased 69 during the past year, which seems wrong as I have only recorded 11 new ones in 2019 as follows:

19001A CHINASAT 2D (Z 2 D) 130.0 (+ E)
19007B GSAT-31                83.0
19009A NUSANTARA SATU 146.0
19014A WGS 10 (USA 291) 179.8
19021A ARABSAT-6A          30.5
19023A BEIDOU-3 IGSO-1 113.3
19031A YAMAL 601          49.0
19034A AT&T T-16                -100.9 (- W)
19034B EUTELSAT 7C          7.3
19049B INTELSAT 39 (IS-39) 61.9
19050A AMOS-17                   17.0

I think the extra count must be due to the inclusion of many satellites with significant inclination angles of up to 59 deg !

Comments and corrections welcome.

Today I updated my list of satellites in geo orbit.

This time I used Notepad++ to convert the "2 line elements" into one line elements.

https://www.satsig.net/sslist.htm

Ive extracted the new ones for 2020 below:

[code] Name Common name           Orbit  Inclination
20002A TJS-5 178.5 0.17
20005A GSAT-30 83.0   0.03
20005B EUTELSAT KONNECT       7.2     0.04
20013A JCSAT-17 136.0 6.69
20013B GEO-KOMPSAT-2B         128.3 0.05
20017A BEIDOU-3 G2 80.0   2.66
20022B AEHF-6 (USA 298) -94.2 7.13
20040A BEIDOU-3 G3 110.5 2.66
20045A APSTAR 6D 134.0 0.07
20048A KOREASAT 116 116.2 0.01
20053A 2020-053A 103.0 0.16
20053B 2020-053B -15.0 0.12
20056A BSAT-4B 109.8 0.05
20056C GALAXY 30 -170.3 0.02[/code]

Not sure on the common names for 2020-53 A and B ?? Any ideas anyone ?

Best wishes for 2021
Eric

Regarding the two satellites 20053A and 20053B.

These were launched simultaneously on the same rocket from Baikonur on 30 July 2020

Their names are belived to be EXPRESS 80 and EXPRESS 103

The payload is believed to be communications in L band, C band and Ku band.

I am not sure which name belongs to which satellite but good guess is that the 20053A at +103 East is to be called EXPRESS 103. The other one is shown as being at -15 deg West. If it stays there maybe it will be called EXPRESS 15 ? If you know please tell me.

Meanwhile, I have updated page: https://www.satsig.net/sslist.htm
