BEESAT-9 re-entry

Satellites & Observations
21

I am glad that it was interesting for you :slight_smile:

I am not sure if you are aware of that, but in the end @fredy was one of our co-authors for the BEESAT-9 re-entry paper, so most of the things we learned are already known, at least to him ^^

The only thing I can think of right now would be a feature that allows you to delete or reschedule a lot of own observations as the observations are time based and AOS/LOS can drastically shift with new TLEs. The observations scheduled before the new TLE was released update the Doppler shift correction but then sometimes the satellite is only visible in the first half of the pass because the actual AOS/LOS is earlier. With BEESAT-9 @fredy took care for us with the scheduling and as a admin he can easily do that. Maybe there is a way through the API, but I did not look into that yet.

Nope, currently there isn’t a way to perform massive delete, but we can check this in the future.

EDIT: Also another useful feature is to be able to schedule observations with different/custom TLEs.

Finally one more useful feature, but it needs a lot of work, is to be able to schedule observations similar to strf ones defining start, stop and frequency.
