Don't know what other constraints may apply, but from a purely geometrical
standpoint we can say the following:
March 12th - Forth Monmouth, NJ to Sudbury MA (MDR VTC Link)
Located somewhere between 2°W and 143°W
March 7th - San Diego, CA to Sudbury, MA (LDR Network Test)
Located somewhere between 43°W and 143°W
The above assumes a 5° satellite elevation angle at both ground terminals.
