A method for estimating a direction of a satellite in the transfer phase. The direction of the satellite is estimated relative to a measurement antenna by executing steps for measuring the reception power, by the measurement antenna, of a target signal emitted by the satellite, for different pointing directions of the measurement antenna. The target signal has a substantially sinusoidal component referred to as a single-frequency component. Each power measurement step includes a transposition in the frequency domain of a digital signal, obtained from a signal supplied by the measurement antenna, to obtain a frequency spectrum of the digital signal over a predetermined frequency band having the single-frequency component. The power measurement for the pointing direction being considered is determined based on a maximum value of the frequency spectrum.
