Intelsat's IS-901 satellite returned to service this morning after Northrop Grumman's MEV-1 life extension spacecraft successfully docked and relocated the satellite to its new orbit. $NOC $I
Photos from when MEV-1 approached IS-901, with Earth visible in the background:

@neho83@SpaceX@OneWeb New satellites need to be observed before they can be displayed - this takes a few days. Regarding Starlink, ephemeris are published prior to launch but we don't have capability to use those data yet - on the task list.
OneWeb was visible but data source changed - will update.
@neho83@OneWeb Celestrak a rรฉcemment changรฉ la localisation des donnรฉes que nous utilisons pour OneWeb. Nous allons mettre ร jour dรจs que possible.
@TSKelso Thank you!
What is the actual difference between full stack and single sat?
Also, is it better to use starlink ephemeris data or observed data?
Thanks!
.@SpaceX launch schedule is getting out of control, with an intended 2 launches per month this year.
#Starlink needs to be in orbit quickly to meet FCC deadlines.
Next launch scheduled tomorrow.
@flcnhvy@elonmusk Makes sense to cash in today (and along the way) on tomorrow's revenues.
SpaceX executes its initial plan to make Starlink its cash cow.
Looking forward to the IPO!
In the most typically @elonmusk move ever, you can now book a launch for your small satellite online for as little as $1 million.

This is genius on a lot of levels.
