Question

A common maneuver is the geostationary transfer orbit, or gto, which is the hohmann transfer required to move from a circular leo orbit to a geo orbit. The operator wants to place this vehicle above africa, a large growth-market in the telecommunications industry. Assuming a zero-inclination transfer from 400km leo to geo, at approximately what longitude in the eci frame must the transfer maneuver begin?
