Hi folks
We in New Zealand have since last night lost our only Satellite TV
communications to the whole country as the repositioning of the Optus B1
satellite went somewhat wrong.
Do any of you experts know why it should take more than 12 hours (and
counting) to correct this problem. I have my suspicions there is a little
more to the problem than an error in manouvre instructions. One possibility
I have considered is that the satellite has actually run out of propellent
to make the required changes. It is a rather old bird as I understand it and
is supposed to be past its used by date. Is this correct?
