Russ,

Unfortunately there was only one satellite. The INMARSAT system depends on a very few (11) satellites in geosynchronous orbit. The one in question is just north of the center of the Indian Ocean. My understanding is that the path of the aircraft never contacted another INMARSAT satellite, at least after it turned SW. It may have been in contact with the one located over New Guinea in the beginning, but even with more, since they are all in a straight line, still would not give anything but a set of arcs.

Respectfully,

Jerry
