ISS CubeSat Deployment NRCSD#27 (Voyager Space/Nanoracks) - ELaNa 51 - 2024-04-18 11:26 UTC

Here is a more or less random assignment of the above TLE sets to the satellites, for now it is just for following, no identification as we don’t have any receptions. I tried to figure out the TLE by checking the order of the satellites comparing it with the deployment order and the perigee and apogee described by the TLE sets since space-track.org started to track them (see the image below). As there are a couple of changes in TLE which give different order the last days and different apogees/perigees this method is not accurate, so for now we follow for:

SNoOPI (6U): OBJECT WL(59561)
BurstCube (6U): OBJECT WN(59563)
HyTI (6U): OBJECT WM(59562)
Killick-1 (2U): OBJECT WJ(59559)
QMSat (2U): OBJECT WP(59596)
VIOLET (2U): OBJECT WQ(59597)
Big Red Sat-1 (1U): OBJECT WK(59560)

Here is the diagram for perigee and apogee based on @cgbsat script for checking tle swapping:

PS It seems space-track.org has skipped the OBJECT WO, not sure why but this could change the opinion above that all these objects are from this launch.
