One more rideshare ready to go, let’s try to gather info about the satellites and add them to SatNOGS DB in the next days in order to track them.

Working down the list, the first one that might be worth checking out is Eycore-1 w/ downlinks in two of the usual bands: 401.05 & 2277.5
… as well as a couple of X-Band downlinks.
Here is QUBE-2 listing -2- 70cm Amateur freqs & an S-Band downlink. Hopefully they won’t use the 70cm downlinks much since this sat will be working w/ encryption technology research.
Imaging sat MISSION_DRISHTI is listing 400.2, 2240, & some X-Band downlinks:
… every time I see a new sat listing 60 or 70 kHz bandwidth in the 400 MHz band, I always wonder if it’s going to end up being 62.5k LoRa since so many of the recent satellites are using that modulation.
I’m only listing BUSANSAT because if they really are only using a 200k signal on S-Band, I’m very curious to see what it might be.
IoT/LoRaWAN sats NuLink-1 & NuLink-2 are already in SatNogs:
… and might be interesting because in addition to 400 MHz, S-Band, & X-Band downlinks, they are listing the EU-868 & US-915 LoRaWAN bands. While documentation shows their area of focus to be Southeast Asia, you never know where we might be able to see some of these signals.
