Any guesses where the second satellite is? The further apart the greater the doppler effect.
There is no second satellite. There is only one INMARSAT satellite that picked up the pings. They have used the response time delay to determine the distance only and that is relatively imprecise.

It's extremely well written and right on the money in terms of details.
