ISAR Spectrum - Andøya - 2026-01-21 20:06 UTC

Hi everyone,
finally we can talk more about the next TU satellite CyBEEsat / TUBSAT-33 and its launch soon on the second Spectrum rocket of Isar Aerospace (First launch recap: Mission Going Full Spectrum). I hijacked this thread as all the payloads luckily were moved to the second launch. More information about the launch can be found on the website of Isar Aerospace: Isar Aerospace - Mission-2

For CyBEEsat I already put the information into the SatNOGS DB a while ago: SatNOGS DB - CyBEEsat. From the website: SpaceTeamSat1 from TU Wien Space Team, CyBEEsat from us and FRAMSat-1 from NTNU are still on the rocket in the first container and TRISAT-S in the second container, while MSAE-OTTER and the TOM satellites are not a part of this launch anymore. According to the website Let It Go from Dcubed and Platform 6 from EnduroSat are added to the launch, but I am not sure in which container or how big they are.

I will update the post as soon as we have a TLE for tracking.

The current launch time is 2026-01-21 20:00:00 (UTC) with a launch window of 15 minutes.
@fredy if you need more information for the launch please let me know.

Lets keep our fingers crossed for a successful second launch :smiley:

Thanks for the updates!

Do you have a list of the satellites going up w/ their downlink frequencies, modulation, framing, & baudrate, etc?

I only know details about CyBEEsat, see details in SatNOGS DB - CyBEEsat. I also found in DB:

browsing this thread, open the spaceteam.at website and voila found it:

interesting

@julianharbeck thanks for the info, I’ll check the details for this launch later today and tomorrow. If you have any preliminary TLE let us know.

We will get a preliminary state vector / TLE most likely later today, will update then.

Preliminary TLE for CyBEEsat:

1 98528U 00000A   26021.88598973  .00000000  00000-0  00000-0 0    14

Updated launch time: 2026-01-21 20:06:00 UTC
Separation of satellites starts at: +4249 s2026-01-21T21:16:49 UTC
End of Radio Silence: +15 min2026-01-21T36:49 UTC

Stations in western Europe will likely be the first to be able to receive the satellites.

@fredy Is there anything still missing that you need for setting up the satellites?

No I think we are all set, I’m going to do the necessary the next hours. Thank you!

I’ve split the thread to this new one in order to separate the two launches, the first one that didn’t go well and this new one.

I’m going to create the entries for the satellites in DB and use the preliminary TLE for all the satellites that will be launched.

I’ve updated the first post with the satellites and the frequencies. For Let-it-go payload I haven’t found any frequency (not sure if transmits), however the ISAR rocket is expected to transmit in S-band 2200-2290 MHz, maybe this includes any transmission from Let-it-go.

TLE based on the preliminary TLE provided in the previous post:

@julianharbeck have in mind that I’ve archived the previous entry for CyBEEsat which was made for the previous launch and added a new one, so the temporary NORAD ID has been changed.

Satellites will be available for scheduling in Network near the launch time and I’m going to schedule stations for the first days after launch. Good luck to all the teams!

@fredy Launch has been scrubbed for today, will keep you updated as soon as there is a new launch opportunity.

No news of a second attempt? Seems odd for so much time to go by without seeing something online when a launch is scrubbed.

The launch window closed on Friday evening, no new date has been announced.

From the Isar Aerospace Twitter Account:

Following the launch attempt on Wednesday, 21 January, which was scrubbed to address an issue with a pressurization valve, we are taking additional time to complete targeted checks and preparations before the next launch attempt. More updates to follow.
