Here are the first TLE sets for two of the objects of Ariane 6 launch based on the current launch time 2024-07-09 18:00 UTC. They are created by following this guide and using sattools:

The first post is now updated with all the payloads of this launch and their frequencies and temporary NORAD IDs that we are going to use in SatNOGS DB.

Below are the TLE sets based on these temporary NORAD IDs and on current launch time 2024-07-09 18:00 UTC, these TLE are preliminary and may not be fully accurate:

Network scheduling have been done with the wrong TLE sets, I’m going to remove and re-schedule.

If anyone has scheduled any of the new satellites, please re-schedule.

Scheduling for the first 24 hours is done. Please try not to schedule too far in the future as the TLE may change.

We are in progress to check that we can decode it.

Orbit number 2 of satellite 3Cat-4 over Madrid-Spain: Received with nice signal but no decoded (Missing information about the needed decoder). It looks like a 9K6 signal. One beacon each 60 secs.

One more new TLE for GRBBeta, fitting @PE0SAT’s previous TLE to some more points from other Network observations:

Trying to get caught up on social media posts & seeing that, despite the successful launch, apparently there were problems later in the Ariane 6 mission.

Was there never really a chance for anyone to capture any of the Genesis-A downlinks during what would have been its short life?

Or, were there FT8 and/or SSTV RX reports that I just haven’t seen yet?

Thanks!

From Network observations we didn’t manage to get anything on those both transmissions. However the majority of the passes wasn’t very high elevations ones.
