Atlas V 401 - Landsant 9 - 2021-09-27 18:12 UTC

I posted this in the other thread as well, but here is the most recent Goddard TLE from this morning (~10 AM UTC-6:00):

1 99999U          21271.77083333  .00145021  00000-0  11565-1 0 00007
2 99999 097.6135 339.7814 0024140 250.2663 283.5278 15.00181134000153

EDIT: Also see this comment from myself from the other thread:

By the way, we just had a pass in the past ~30 minutes over Boulder, CO, and we tried using the most recent TLE that Goddard gave us, only to find that the current SatNOGS TLE outperformed it by about 5dB of extra signal :slight_smile:

In good news–we managed to get two commands in! Both were to increase the beacon rate to 4 seconds. Note that these are automatically overridden after about 5 minutes by an internal macro, so the next observations obtained by SatNOGS ground stations will see beacons at 16 second intervals again.
