Es’hail-2 Geostationary Satellite – credit Es’hailSat<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Es’hail-2 is still in a temporary GEO slot, according to the Keps at ~24\u00b0E. This is not the final location which planned to be at 26\u00b0E<\/p>\n

The satellite Es\u2019hail-2, carrying amateur radio transponders, launched from the Kennedy Space Center at 2046 GMT on Thursday, November 15, 2018.<\/p>\n

On the AMSAT Bulletin Board Peter G\u00fclzow DB2OS<\/strong> writes:<\/p>\n

During the next 1-2 month they will perform some fine tuning and extensive In-Orbit-Testing in this position not to interfere with other GEO satellites nearby.<\/p>\n

Once that is finished, the satellite will slowly be drifting to and stationed at the final position.<\/p>\n

However, several “hunters” have already spotted the Engineering beacon from Es’hail-2, so obviously everything looks good and is according to the plan.. \"\ud83d\ude42\"<\/p>\n

The checkout and inauguration of the both AMSAT transponders will be performed after the IOT phase is finished https:\/\/amsat-dl.org\/p4a-positionining-and-iot<\/a><\/p>\n
