Hello World Mission - Satellite not spawning

[VersataMeridian]

Went through another thread here that suggested going around the same grid as the Hello World system to find the satellite.
But I havent found it .. went around a 4x4 grid around the system and couldn't find it.
How can I get the satellite to spawn?

EDIT: This is the location for those going insane trying to complete this annoying
mission. Its in the same square as the coordinates in the mission log at this location.

Found it..its in the same grid as the system. You need to get REALLY close to the satellite (i dont think the Observation skills of your crew helps). In my case it was in the SAME square grid as the system in the bottom right side

I had issues to find it myself and followed your direction. Sadly it wasn't there and had to search the whole grid. At the end was my satellite pretty much next to the planets north of them but wasnt spotted until I came really close as well... :(
So I went all over the outer edges of the same grid just to find it NEXT to the system in the end... lol...
My coordinates were 4,5 X 8,6.
Sadly it wont help others much it seems...

My suggestion: use a typical spiral pattern while searching - starting from the system itself.

Not being able to detect things in the same grid as you, in the same sun orbit, even with every possible scan range buff in the game is some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ yeah.

"Oh but it is right there" doesn't help with so many things in the game designed to be deliberately right outside of where you can detect it by the last point of interest you saw.

*eyes every time stubbornly going a full 2 squares away from origin square barely reveals a new star at the last second. Even inside the main systems. EVEN WHEN THE NPCS CHAT ABOUT HOW EMPTY SPACE IS (seriously keep going at least half a square if your NPCs ever talk ♥♥♥♥ about 'nothing in space captain. space sure is big captain' I am two for two in content revealed because I did not stop)*

How this mission can be completed? I Found the Swarm and two Systems scaned all and explored all.

To clarify you found the system where the "Hello World" message comes from?
Then there should be the message "the satellite should be in the same system".
As I suggested: to find it you can professionally use a spiral search pattern starting from the system and go further out.

The viewing distance to see the satellite was for me as small (or even smaller) as "the distance from the sun to the first planet" in this system. So its suuuper short!
At the end I flew around with ctrl-clicking on the map (left, down a bit, right, down a bit, left, down a bit, right...etc).
It should be IN THE SAME GRID as the system.

I done it thx only left to do was leave the system.
I later passed it again and get attacked.
So in Self defense i Wiped that Race out. XD

My Second Play trough and I KNEW I'd regret not putting up a screenshot for me and for the community for this irritating quest :D
Updated my OP based on the final coordinate of the impossible to find satellite
