Satellites & Observations Launches

According to Gunter’s Space Page there will be a launch on November 04. (it has
Cygnus CRS-12 (NG 12) on it.) There a a few cube sats that are with it. Either to be launched before docking to the ISS or from the ISS or after undocking. (Not sure actually, more research is required)

The following are the ones I found and there IARU coordination and the page from Gunter’s Space Page.

Orbital Factory 2 - http://www.amsatuk.me.uk/iaru/finished_detail.php?serialnum=685 https://space.skyrocket.de/doc_sdat/orbital-factory-2.htm

There may be more satellites . Also some of these satellites IARU page mentions satellites being launched with them. When you look them up they are being launched at a different time sometime next year.
