Electron Launch - RUNNING OUT OF FINGERS - 2019-11-28

TLE targeting for the new launch time at 2019-12-06T07:57:00Z based on @cgbsat initial TLE by using sattools.

The TLE above have been added into networkā€¦ Iā€™m going to remove some future observations based on the old TLE we had for this deployment and re-schedule the stations with the new ones, plus schedule other stations too.

Future observations with old TLE have been deletedā€¦ new observation will be scheduled after the launch in order to use the right TLE which probably are going to change due to delays of the launch.

New TLE for 2019-12-06T08:18:00Z:

1 84003U 14900A   19340.34583334  .00000000  00000-0  50000-4 0    01
2 84003  97.0040 202.3227 0002745   0.0000 200.0000 15.69144411    01

Observations have been scheduled for all 4 satellites in DB. I have shared almost equally the passes to the four of them for the next 6h. I will suggest not schedule after the first 6h (09:50-16:00) as new TLE may be announced that will be more accurate.

Thank You very much! Here, we are the developers of Smog-P and ATL-1 waiting for newsā€¦

Are there any new TLE?

First passes we wait to observe signals:

Fossasat-1: https://network.satnogs.org/observations/1324797/
Smog-P: https://network.satnogs.org/observations/1324829/
ATL-1: https://network.satnogs.org/observations/1324867/
TRSI-Sat: https://network.satnogs.org/observations/1324839/

@tjanos @movax @ea4hcd1 Let us know if you get any initial TLE after the launch. Good luck on your missions!

Thank you, we know thisā€¦

From the first passes:
Possible signal from Fossasat-1: https://network.satnogs.org/observations/1325454/
Possible signal from ATL-1: https://network.satnogs.org/observations/1324867/
Possible signal from Smog-P: https://network.satnogs.org/observations/1324839/
Nothing from TRSI-Sat yet.

From other stations and from network stations until now only Smog-P and ATL-1 have been received:



We keep tracking their passes with SatNOGS Network by using the TLE we produced earlier. There are some initial TLE from space-track for this launch but we are almost sure that they are not the ones of the pocketqubes so we are not going to use them for now.

From the three new NORAD items published today, the most likely candidate is:

2019-084B
1 44825U 19084B 19340.56591845 .06473880 00000-0 54445-1 0 9994
2 44825 97.0039 204.7139 0046829 249.9841 109.6675 15.64350402 43

seems like the current is outdated.

Be advised that the first 3 objects are currently identified as:

ALE-2 [44824/19084]
ELECTRON KICK STAGE R/B [44825/19084B]
ELECTRON R/B [44826/19084C]

my bad, norad said they will publish pocketqube TLEā€™s tomorrow. Previous item is a mistakeā€¦

I think, in this time it is not too much problem. The new objects, small and larger flying in a small swarm. It was nice to see on our websdr, how the two our pocketcube transmit paralell, tracking based on the know tle, 2019-084B
We use this for the next pass too:
http://152.66.73.245:33333/

Two new TLEs have been published.

For SMOG-P and ATL-1 currently 44828 fits slightly better than 44827 (based on a single pass). No sign of FOSSASAT or TRSI-Sat using SatNOGS station #40 in STRF mode.

For now Iā€™ve changed TRSI-Sat and ATL-1 to follow 44827 in Network and Smog-P and Fossasat-1 to follow 44828.

Iā€™ve started up a Github repo to contribute Doppler observations and perform TLE lottery.

@EA4GPZ consider using git-lfs for storing large files :wink:

Also, would love to hear your ideas on how we can automate the process more. (cc @cgbsat @kerel @vk5qi and @fredy of course)

J0CAW question:


It is a short data on 436.732 MHz
Have you a propose? Is it not Fossasat with short LoRa packet?
