Thank you very much Tetsu san.

Satellite added in DB, in the next hours transmitters will be added too:

NOTE: MAGNARO A & B will be deployed as one object but later will be separated.

For the Epsilon launch from Japan. Assumes launchtime at 2022-10-12T00:50:43
Inclination is a pure guess, but matches groundtrack from earlier tweet(check bellow) pretty well

All transmitters are now added, please check them for any errors. Thanks to @ENSFNM for helping!

TLE sets will be added later ~1h before launch. Scheduling will also be done after launch, sharing the time among the satellites and their different modes.

Many thanks for all the info that’s been posted already.

Do we have any info on how long after launch there will be any deployments?

Ahh, found the deployment schedule in the image on that tweet posted above

Indications are the launch vehicle failed, possibly the 3rd stage failed to ignite and a ‘command destroy signal transmission’ was sent. :cry:

several observations are still scheduled just in case …

Nothing heard from the first two sats of interest that I ‘would’ have had a front-row seat to. Very unfortunate if the flight had to be terminated.

Confirmed at my stations too, same result with kosen-2 and fsi-sat just northeast of you. None of the observations in South American showed any signal either. I feel bad for all the organizations involved, there was a lot riding on that launch vehicle. Ever onward.
