65,7° East Sibirs Geo 2

[dreamsat]

I receive a strong peak at 20250 R. I think about 2 dergrees inclination at a moment.
It could be Sibirs Geo 2. Could someone check that?

 

[s-band]

It's below my horizon but is probably SBIRS GEO 1 Real time satellite tracking for: SBIRS GEO 1 (USA 230) and is likely to have the same spectrum as SBIRS GEO 2. See this plot 38.0°W SBIRS-Geo 2 (incl.) - Satellites Community

 

[dreamsat]

the signal is still there

According TLE, SBIRS-GEO 1 left 65.7°E two weeks ago, and is now near 50°E still drifting 1.1°W/day.

 

[hvdh]

SBIRS-GEO 1 new location 51.8°E since April 1.

 

[dreamsat]

I can't detect anything in the scan yet, unless it's inclined.

 

[hvdh]

SBIRS (like almost all US Space Force) satellites are inclined, this one has +3.6° inclination right now.

 

[dreamsat]

I can't find anything else there. Scan in RHCP.

 

[s-band]

I can't find anything else there. Scan in RHCP.

My dish is down at the moment so I can't check but I think that you are seeing the other narrow band BPSK on 20462MHz. In addition, there always was a wide band signal centred on 20745MHz (SBIRS 2). There was a similar spectrum on SBIRS Geo 5.
