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

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

Best wishes for 2021

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
