The @AvantiComms Hylas 2 satellite relocated in 2024 from 31E to 142E, and then in early 2025 to 72.5W; it started relocating again in Jul 2026. Anyone out there know the specific reason for these relocations? Leased as BIU or something, and if so for who? 5.8K views · 66 likes · 3 reposts · 4 replies Open on X →

To be clear: the other possibility is that the sixth object is a debris object and the deorbit burn did happen. Will become more clear with further data (or a statement from ISAR?) 18.2K views · 194 likes · 13 reposts · 4 replies Open on X →

@planet4589 good to see spectrum make orbit. the missing deorbit burn bugs me though - 520x600 km sun-sync will be up there for years 749 views · 3 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

@planet4589 Maybe they didn‘t deorbit on purpose for the experiment that was attached to the rocket… 1.2K views · 15 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

Six objects cataloged in a 520 x 600 km x 97.4 deg, 1036 LTDN sun-sync orbit consistent with launch from Andoya, confirming success of the ISAR Spectrum launch, although suggesting that stage 2 may not have performed a deorbit burn. 38.3K views · 447 likes · 22 reposts · 6 replies Open on X →

Confirmation from ISAR - congrats to them. Now we wait for USSF TLEs for independent confirmation, hopefully sometime tomorrow. 22K views · 545 likes · 20 reposts · 3 replies Open on X →
