[amsat-bb] Detecting Es'hail-2 from North America after launch but before parking at 25.5 degrees

[M5AKA]

As Nico says there's been no announcement of a launch date.
The date mentioned on AMSAT-BB recently related to an estimate that someone posted on the SatBeams site over 9 months ago and which hasn't been updated since.
Politics can also play a role, see this post from December 2017
