Maybe going to join the damaged satellite @ 5 west Eutelsat 5 West B at 5.0°W with only half the solar array working to become Eutelsat 5 West C.

So where is Hotbird 13C heading ?
Here are my 3 best guesses,

1 = 5° west
2= 12.5°west
3= 24.5°west

I have it from a very reliable source that HB 13 C has rested @ 12.5 west
This will make 12.5° west very interesting for feed hunters again
