REAL satellite is alive and loud!!!
The TLE are pretty accurate, more updated one will come in the next hour.

Looks like there’s transmission observed at 02:18 UTC. (8 hours after launch?)

For the REAL the best fit without other candidate is OBJECT G (64875), we are going to wait for the objects to be assigned before moving into identification, until then we will follow for REAL 64785.

Please fix the REAL Followed NORAD ID to 64875 (not 64785)

Done thanks! Observations in Network will be updated in the next minutes.

I was happy to finally get some 9k6 decodes from REAL on a higher pass over the eastern U.S. tonight, but a super-nice bonus was also seeing the S-Band downlink (with data sidebands!!).
Correct S-Band freq. appears to be in the area of 2202.450 MHz, but I’ll setup with narrow-er settings next time for a (hopefully) better view of the signal.

Good pass tonight of the REAL satellite at EM00.

15 frames were decoded from REAL but they were uploaded to the db with the followed NORAD id 64875, which looks a perfect match. Now, I am wondering, how these frames can be retrieved from the database?

well, it should end up here and you can request a export (when logged in) from the last week/month/everything.
Yes, it should, but it hasn’t happened yet. Maybe when the NORAD id is officially assigned to the satellite.
@PE0SAT do you know how this works for follows ? I guess it’s sids.
Yes it is and the Norad ID is determined by the TLE used. I don’t know what TLE source is used by @sv2hwm
SatNOGS is following
REAL
1 64875U 25154G 25211.19365080 .00014221 00000-0 69638-3 0 9995

When you use this with GetKissPlus it will forward with NoardID 64875 as can be seen by the statement “allow data transfer to NOARD ID 64875”
