I'm searching the net but The Sirius satellites nr. 2, 3, are european satellites not for the US. So it must be other satellites but which?
Anybody can give the right answer?

Sirius’ spacecraft Radiosat 1 through Radiosat 4 were manufactured by Space Systems/Loral. The first three of the series were orbited in 2000 by Proton-K Block-DM3 launch vehicles. Radiosat 4 is a ground spare, in storage at SS/Loral’s facility in Palo Alto, California. The series of satellites from which they come, the SS/Loral LS-1300, is known to have problems with their solar array cells — a similar issue affects the Boeing satellites belonging to XM Radio.
Sirius' satellites are called Radiosat (instead of after the company name), due to there already being a previous fleet of satellites launched also named SIRIUS, launched by Sweden's NSAB (Nordiska Satellitaktiebolaget, or Nordic Satellite AB) and used for general telecommunications and satellite tv throughout Sweden and the rest of Scandinavia.

Ok, clear. But I would like to track this satellites on http://science.nasa.gov/Realtime/JTrack/3d/JTrack3D.html but I can't find a satellite called radiosat 1/4.
I only see the XM satellites 'rock' and 'roll'.

If you go to siriusbackstage.com and look at the "Space Nation" forum, you'll find a link to software and info that will allow you to track the sats in real time.
