Name that Satellite!
Many geosynchronous satellites deployed
- catalogue with orbital parameters athttp://hea-www.harvard.edu/~jcm/space/logs/geo.log
Can we determine which one is used here?
- Not from absolute delay values, measurements include both terrestrial and space links, can’t break down
- Approximate location of up and down link are known
- For each listed satellite compute variation in distance only two close to observed 2.65ms delay variation
- Eutelsat IIF1 at 48 degrees East (2.63ms)
- Eutelsat Hot Bird 4 at 14 degrees East (2.60ms)
