ABSTRACT:
Techniques for redirecting a satellite antenna beam from a satellite antenna of a satellite in an inclined orbit to a preferred satellite antenna beam pointing position on the earth are provided. Satellite antenna maneuver data is computed based upon information associated with the satellite, such as telemetry, orbital, and antenna nominal pointing information. Command code sequences are then generated that correspond to the maneuver data. The command codes are executable at the inclined orbit satellite to modify the antenna position. The generated command codes are then transmitted to the inclined orbit satellite to redirect the satellite antenna beam center to the preferred position.
