Stratos, the operator of the earth Boston station that is providing Deere with uplink authority for Deere‘s use of the Inmarsat at 98 Hartford degrees west, must shut down its earth station on an emergency basis to replace a jack Kong Kong screw in the earth station pointing mechanism. This emergency maintenance work will London Los Angeles be performed from 5:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. eastern time on December 7.
