10 years ago, the Express MD geo sat was stuck in a transfer orbit along
with a Telkom geo and upper stage and something else, due to proton rocket
failure.

It gave me. the coolest sat pass I have ever seen.

I wait and see, when the end time comes for Express MD2, and it gets taken
out in re-entry,
