Dear Scott,

I think I have seperation timeline.

As of NanoDragon, antenna will be deployed 5 min after seperation and from that moment, we expect to have signal receivable. Don’t know details about the others.

Thanks!

Thank you for the deployment schedule! That is very helpful, but of course since these satellites will be directly over me about 1:06 after launch, I am not surprised to see that they will start transmitting exactly 10 minutes LATER.

Best of luck with your project! Like everyone else I will look forward to receiving your signals when the orbits come my way.

A quick update, in the next 4-5 hours I’m going to add the new TLE sets in DB. I’ll let you know with a message here.

TLE sets are now in DB and available in Network. I’m going to schedule observations for this launch a couple of hours before launch. To station owners, please keep in mind that the TLE are preliminary, so don’t schedule too far in the future, 12h in the future is a good limit. Also make sure on scheduling to choose in the advanced options, horizon to 0, this will increase the station chances to get the satellites as we don’t have accurate TLE sets.

The TLE sets we use changed to have the temporary NORAD IDs we use in DB:

Scheduling is done for the first 12h after launch time.

Bad news,
It seems like the launch is rescheduled again due to strong wind at the port location :frowning: I’m still getting information from my colleague who is currently at the site.

That was unfortunate.

Due to the cancellation, all the future scheduled observations have been removed from Network.

Official “No Go” has been announced.
Such an unfortunate.

Both the KOSEN-1 and TEIKYOSAT-4 team have placed new TLE files on there websites. There does seem to be a pretty significant difference between the two.

Can you share updated TLE?

Sorry for late reply, we got Jaxa’s new launch date on Saturday so was not be able to generate new tle. We’ve just done it now:

I’ve just added the TLE sets bellow for the launch. As @PE0SAT noted TEIKYOSAT-4 TLE set seems to be pretty off in comparison with the rest. So, I’ve used the TLE set of Z-Sat which is the closest to TEIKYOSAT-4 deployment time.
