Spacetrack has published two TLE sets related with objects deployed from ISS, OBJECT RK (45597) and OBJECT RL (45598). By running ikhnos, OBJECT RL(45598) fits perfect the waterfalls of observations, bellow are two different observations and how they compare with the two objects:
| Observation 2131811: | |
|---|---|
| OBJECT RK (45597) | OBJECT RL (45598) |
| Observation 2121963: | |
|---|---|
| OBJECT RK (45597) | OBJECT RL (45598) |
From the above, and with the expectation that at most 2 satellites would be deployed (the other one is probably the expected but not announced to be deployed G-SATELLITE), we have identified Quetzal-1 as OBJECT RL (45598).
