When geosats are near their brightening days near equinox, I predicted them to see which is the most north and which is the most south and the others between. I was unable to do so. Then I discovered those identical values except the mean equinox. This happended in October 2002, 2003 and 2004 and also in March 2003 and 2004. These satellites are so close that it might be impossible to distinghuis them by radar? There was always one TLE of an ASTRA a bit different.
