I've just updated the TLEs on the tracking program. The link is: http://www.satflare.com/track.php?q=tempmuos I propose also a second link, where the program tries to switch over the 3 TLEs automatically: (see the 3D graphics) http://www.satflare.com/track.php?q=tempmuosauto Best regards, Simone >----Messaggio originale---- >Da: ssl3molcz@rogers.com >Data: 17-feb-2012 4.43 >A: <seesat-l@satobs.org> >Ogg: MUOS 1: pre-launch estimated orbital elements > >The planned launch of MUOS 1 on 2012 Feb 16 UTC was scrubbed due to bad weather.
