ISS CubeSat Deployment (2020-02-17): Phoenix, QARMAN, RadSat-U, Argus-2, AZTECHSAT-1

From the latest observations:

RADSAT-U is identified and it is OBJECT RF (45262) (cc’ing @skylart and @lameres).

From observation SatNOGS Network - Observation 1818229

another good observation is SatNOGS Network - Observation 1818177.

RADSAT-U had few good observations until now in SatNOGS, however it was separated enough from other satellites in order to be identified.

QARMAN is one of:

  • OBJECT QZ(45256)(less possible)
  • OBJECT RG(45263)(still selected to follow in Network)

Phoenix is one of:

  • OBJECT RA(45357) (less possible)
  • OBJECT RB(45258) (still selected to follow in Network)

related observation SatNOGS Network - Observation 1806909

However there are two observations near on Phoenix frequency which is discussed here, if the signal with ~40s interval is Phoenix then it will fit better OBJECT RD(45260) or OBJECT RE(45261)

AZTECHSAT-1 is one of:

  • OBJECT RD(45260)
  • OBJECT RE(45261)(still selected to follow in Network)

Still both objects fit well enough the observed signals.

Argus-02

Unfortunately nothing heard from Argus-02 yet.
