Sorry I’m not sure I understand. Please confirm if I get it right, is what you propose this:
AuroraSat 56315
YukonSat 56316
Ex-alta 2 56312
Hey Fredy, thanks for asking. I think the team has found that this makes sense:
AuroraSat 56312
YukonSat 56316
Ex-alta 2 56315

Thank you! I’ve just changed the NORAD IDs we follow for these satellites. I’ll try later or tomorrow to schedule observations for all the satellites of this launch in order to check if we can get anything.
I have asked, will let you know as soon as I get a reply!

Sounds like the team will be running passes with the high gain antenna tomorrow night in Canada. First pass is probably 01:06 UTC on July 21. They plan to enable 2 second beacons to test the battery capacity, as well as try to verify all of the antennas are deployed. Thanks!

No signals received over Europe.
Some new info on these sats:
The team thinks they got the TLE’s wrong. This assignment is making more sense with the recent observations: @fredy
AuroraSat 56312
YukonSat 56316
Ex-alta 2 56313
They also were able to find out that AuroraSat has had the best signal, heard on low-gain antennas over Canada during passes. This one also seems to have the best battery charging. YukonSat also had a strong signal, but appears to have less battery charging ability. EX2 seems to have the weakest signal, and also has less battery charging ability.
The team will be trying again this week, as the passes are earlier in the evening for us in Canada.

I’ve changed the NORADs wherever was needed, let us know about when the team will try the next test in order to schedule observaitons.

Hi @fredy, it appears that NEUDOSE was also changed from 56315 to 56313 based on the recommendation of @VA6ISS. Could you please change this back to 56315 as that recommendation has since been corrected? Thanks.

@fredy (and anyone else interested): We believe we might have uncovered a software bug in NEUDOSE that was disabling our beacons. We are attempting to reset it starting the next pass (tonight ~8:30pm EDT, https://www.n2yo.com/passes/?s=56315&a=1) and over the next couple of days. If anyone could queue up some SatNOG ground stations for us, that would be amazing! Thank you in advance!

Have monitored several passes since your post (not a SatNogs station, but any decodes WILL be uploaded) however nothing seen thus far.
Any idea if your uplinks are being heard?
Can any of us from alternative geographic positions be of any help?

Like Scott, I have also been monitoring multiple passes but no signs of any signals.
Lets keep an eye on the satellite.
