Injection orbit of GSAT12 and its launcher has been generated and plotted below as seen from a point above North pole and also along equator to show the inclination.
There are actually two objects .. GSAT12 and the satellite launcher which is also orbiting around earth as a debris. I don't want to hazard a guess about which is the correct one. Presently we ( I mean public domain ) don't know which is which so I have plotted both. Once we know more details then we can concentrate only on GSAT12.
This may take a day or two.
Main parameters for the two objects are :
orbits per day = 3.85199603 and 3.91888036
Apogee = 21348 Kms and 20959 kms
Inclination = 17.9442 deg and 17.8186 deg
UPDATE on 17th July : As the data shows that there is no change in orbit from yesterdy's orbit new chart has not been prepared.
UPDATE on 18th July : As the data shows that today also there is no change in orbit new chart has not been prepared.
