ISS CubeSat Deployment NRCSD#24 (Nanoracks) - 2022-12-29 12:05 UTC

NUTSat TLE set, not very accurate as we have limited good observations:

NUTSat
1 99230U          23001.20000000  .00000000  00000-0  00000-0 0    04

In order to avoid the many false positives in the APRS frequency of TJREVERB, I’ve used the TLE set of NUTSat for it.

Thanks Fredy. Has the object number for SPORT now been updated to 99241? This was previously assigned to MARIO. TKS and HNY! Bob

oops my bad! It is still 99234 I’m going to fix the TLE set. Thanks for the note!

EDIT: TLE fixed on both here and in DB. Thanks again @N6RFM

Beacons should still be transmitted, so we’re unsure of what happened. We’re checking past beacons now for status.

Thanks for the note.

Mario beacons are back! Thanks for tracking @ps_observer.

SPORT seems to changed to BPSK 9k6 and now we have decoded data from it.

Also there is a new TLE for SPORT, still not very accurate:

As the TLE set of NUTSAT has been changed dramatically, some of the future observations (after 2022-01-03 13:00 UTC) have been removed. To station owners, if you have scheduled for NUTSAT please perform a re-schedule. cc @ENSFNM @rex711

We have received ORCASAT but have in mind that it is active only over Canada.

New TLE set for ORCASAT, unfortunately due to the limited data is not very accurate:

The SPORT intended configuration at deploy was 1200 baud for the beacon. The onboard computer commands this in the radio. We have been having hardware resets of both the radio subsystem and the onboard computer since being on orbit. When the radio resets it comes back on line and defaults to 9600 baud. When the computer reboots it commands the radio to 1200 baud.

From https://twitter.com/ViennaHamRadio/status/1611539181280313346 it seems that TJREVERB may transmit at 144.39 MHz. I’ve added the transmitter and scheduled a couple of observations.

Also probably from someone from the team there was an update on the LORIS transmitter baudrate from 19200 to 9600. Let’s see if we are going to get anything.

Finally I was about to identify ORCASat based on SatNOGS Network - Observation 6995051. However I got a similar signal on different frequency (the one of LORIS), that matches the same object SatNOGS Network - Observation 7004278. So, I’m now wondering if the signal we recognize as ORCASat is indeed ORCASat or something else (maybe a terrestrial transmission?) and why we got similar signal at LORIS frequency. More observations have been scheduled for both to solve this mystery.

144.39 is the US APRS freq

I’m not going to keep scheduling TJREVERB, ORCASat and LORIS.

For TJREVERB we haven’t received anything since its deployment, so probably is DOA. Unless we have a request from the team or any update that proves reception, I don’t think there is any point on continue scheduling.

For LORIS and ORCASat, given that the satellites are transmitting only after command and they don’t have any beacon, I’ll wait feedback from the teams (@loris-ops and @ha6bli) on the questions asked in Observation 7014595: LORIS (99233) and in Observation 6981462: ORCASat (99232), as well as specific timestamps that they try to communicate with their satellites in order to schedule Network.

Of course station owners can keep scheduling all the three of them. :wink:
