Space track data show's Galaxy 11 ( 26038 ) still in a drift orbit. Problem is Intelsat's data show's galaxy 11 has beem inserted into it's orbital slot of 55.5 degrees West, are beside Intelsat 805 ( 25371 ). Intelsat data on Intelsat 805 http://www.intelsat.com/isdocs/ephemeris/i_aor_c_304.50_IS-805_20110818_000000.txt And on Galaxy 11 http://www.intelsat.com/isdocs/ephemeris/i_aor_c_304.50_G-11_20110818_000000.txt At the top of both data files it says Spacecraft: Intelsat G-11 at 304.50 deg E / 55.50 deg W Prediction start epoch: 2011/08/18 00:00:00.000 Prediction end epoch : 2011/09/01 00:00:00.000 Spacecraft: Intelsat IS-805 at 304.50 deg E / 55.50 deg W Prediction start epoch: 2011/08/18 00:00:00.000 Prediction end epoch : 2011/09/01 00:00:00.000 So according to intelsat data, Galaxy 11 is no longer drifting from what I see.
