Hi Vanessa et al. We found this same satellite. It is a Geosynchronous Chinese satellite called BeiDou 1D, we believe. You can track it on the n2yo site. The other site from MIT describes the reason and usage?????
I have written to the Chinese Embassy here in Aus will let you know if there is any reply. I have also asked n2yo for info.
The BeiDou 1D should be at an elevation between 45 and 55 degrees varying across the equator from above Woleai Is down to central PNG. It should pass beside Mu Tauri at 10:50 tonight. Regards, Col.
Have any of you seen it at any other times or positions in the starry sky?
