Just a quick opinion, but I'd expect these three satellites to be checked out and exercised initially near known, convenient, safe GEO satellites before moving on to targets of actual interest. That probably would mean that they'll rendezvous with or at least fly by US government satellites in view of ground stations in the continental US, perhaps meaning Colorado.
