So if I am reading this right, milstar will be injected into a geo orbit at
around 80.45 West or 260.45E, so it will be well placed, if it doesn't move
to much to its final orbital position, that it will be high in the sky as
seen from my location, all right!
A big geo sat that could be brighter than the rest because of its size, and
will be a good height above the horizon. I can live with that.
