The uncertainties in proper motions\, determined by combining both statistical and systematic errors\, are smal ler by a factor 2.5\, when compared with Gaia Data Release 2. We have deri ved orbits in four Milky Way potential models that are consistent with the MW rotation curve. Although the type of orbit (ellipse or hyperbola) are very dependent on the potential model\, the pericenter values are firmly determined\, largely independent of the adopted MW mass model. By analyzin g the orbital phases\, we found that the dwarf galaxies are highly concent rated close to their pericenter\, rather than to their apocenter as expect ed from Kepler's law. This may challenge the fact that most dwarf galaxies are Milky Way satellites\, or alternatively indicates an unexpected large number of undiscovered dwarf galaxies lying very close to their apocenter s. Between half and two thirds of the satellites have orbital poles that i ndicate them to orbit along the Vast Polar Structure (VPOS)\, with the vas t majority of these co-orbiting in a common direction also shared by the M agellanic Clouds\, which is indicative of a real structure of dwarf galax ies.\n\nhttps://meetings.aip.de/event/20/contributions/200/ LOCATION:Haus H\, Telegrafenberg URL:https://meetings.aip.de/event/20/contributions/200/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
