Thanks all TLE updates Jan. Here is INHA-RoSAT sending 9K6 GMSK 1836Z FN41iq 42W

First of all, thank you all.

I’m managing the K-HERO mission right now, and SatNOGS’ network observation greatly improved our initial orbit operation.
It looks like the UPDATED TLE’s altitude shows approximately 590 km, whereas based on K-HERO GPS data (included in beacon), it is approximately 588.3 km. It looks like the altitude is different from what I’ve noticed from the launcher side (~ 600 km).

@PE0SAT Which method did you use to update TLE, is it based on RF signal observation data?

Best,

Welcome on the channel, it always great to see mission members.

We use STRF for Doppler measurements and create TLE from those,
Ideally we would use multiple passes and then fine tune the TLE, in this case where there was nothing publicly available we used Epoch, Inclination, orbit and launch location.

I had a look at https://www.space-track.org/ but there is nothing available yet so we will try to update the current ones.

If you can share more details on its orbit, state vectors or preliminary TLE please do.

Hello,
I am in charge of communications for INHA RoSAT.
Thanks to your support, we are successfully monitoring the status of our satellite. We sincerely appreciate your help.

Based on the received GPS data, we reconstructed an updated TLE. We are currently observing about a 2-minute difference compared to the SatNOGS-predicted pass, and we have confirmed signal reception that matches our updated estimation.

We would appreciate it if you could reflect this new TLE.

The TLE changed to use the temporary NORAD ID we use in DB:

@fredy Thank you for updating the TLE.

Thanks to your support, we have been able to continuously confirm that the signal is being received properly.

For those attempting to receive our satellite’s signal, we would like to share some additional information about INHA RoSAT.
To reduce power consumption, the satellite is currently transmitting only the Audio Beacon.
As shown in the waterfall, the Audio Beacon is visible when transmitted, and it is emitted every 5 minutes.

We would like to once again express our sincere gratitude to everyone who has been receiving and tracking our signal. Thank you!

@jociiiii Thank you for the info!

I may suggest, if possible, you change the interval to 3min, this way we can have 2 to 3 points in each pass that can help us identify the satellite.

By the way we have assigned TLE from space-track for this launch for all the expected objects, so we can start the identification process.

FYI, K-HERO sometimes fell into safe (low power) mode, which turned off the auto beacon. My team is currently working on this matter. :shaking_face:
SatNOGS’ observations greatly helps!!!
