The satellites we are interested in are all positioned in a geostationary orbit above the earth s equator Each of them has a fix given position in that orbit something like a street number that we can know from various sources Orbital position is an important datum so it is commonly part of the name as well Websites like http www lyngsat com or http www satcodx com offer plenty of useful information about the satellites we are talking about For example ASTRA 19E refers to ASTRA satellite which is positioned at 19 degrees East in the orbit Knowing where we are in terms of latitude and longitude is also easy We can read that information from a map or even from our car s navigation system if we have one Figure A2 6 18 June 2015 With this information in hand we can calculate the elevation and azimuth we Should put on the dish to begin our coarse antenna alignment There are formulas to do that but some websites are again quite useful There are also free mobile applications as Dish Aligner which calculates the elevation and azimuth and also your current location determined by the GPS of the mobile phone This one is especially interesting for you can select the satellite you want and then position yourself on a graphical map http science nasa gov realtime jtrack 3d JTrack3D html For example if we take ASTRA 19E position and select a location somewhere in Germany e Latitude 50 degrees North e Longitu
