help the satellite hold its lock

English to German Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering Kompass
Satellite communications for the production remain inoperative, so there is no phone or email aboard. The handheld satellite phone is our only connection with home. The engineers work to install a gyroscopic compass that will **help the satellite hold its lock**.

Signalpeilung

I think, in this context, they are speaking of "signal lock" where, not only must the antennas be pointing at one another, but they must be able to communicate. You may wish to consider this or some form of it.

Ausrichtung auf den Satelliten halten

lock = Ausrichtung
