Can a Geostationary sat be repositioned? Not simple station keeping, but moved thousands of kilometers to another position? A few weeks ago I thought I saw a stationary flasher east of my position at 50 degrees elevation. It is no longer there. I've loaded every sync sat tle I could find and they tell that there is not and could not be a satellite at that position. I'm still a newbie and prone to mistakes but I do not want to think I was "seeing things". Seems to me a GS sat would make a good spy platform if it could be moved about, of course the extreme altitude would cause difficulties. Oh, another thing, are there *any* satellites that in equitorial orbits that circle the earth to the west? Thanks to everyone for such a great list and TIA for answers.
