ISS Deployment (maybe NRCSD30?) - 2026-07-02

EDIT: checked the first post that we have the deployment times and info gathered from various sources, from that, it seems that PROVES - Electra deployed a couple of hours from the rest, so there is big probability that this is OBJECT YJ that is away from the others.

OBJECT YJ (69794) has been correlated with HUCSat based on frequency data obtained from many ground passes. HUCSat is the only 2U CubeSat on the mission, which likely accounts for its substantially different ground track from the rest.

OBJECT YP (69799) has been correlated with PROVES - Electra based on frequency data obtained from many ground passes.

Since, to my knowledge, none of the remaining 4 satellites are currently transmitting, it is more difficult to correlate them. However, based on initial TLEs and deployment timings, PROVES - Atlas and PROVES Alcyone are likely to be OBJECT YL (69796) and OBJECT YN (69798) in some order. So I would think that the most likely candidates for LEOPARDSat-1 (in some order) would be either OBJECT YK (69795) or OBJECT YM (69797), followed by the currently uncorrelated OBJECT YL or OBJECT YN.
