New Module does not find Fossa

Gpredict
1

Hi All,
New to Gpredict and seem to have failed at the first post. I found the Youtube vid by Andreas Spiess on ‘how to build a ground station for $20’. I downloaded GPredict and updated the TLE data. The next step should be to create a new module and select the Fossa satellites but they are not listed, is there a database update I should do or anything else I’m not doing? Any help in getting started mush appreciated.

You probably have to add an additional TLE file to download under TLE update, for example the satnogs.txt file from Celestrak. That file contains something called FOSSASAT-1. However, I am unsure whether this satellite is still active…

I got the same problem, and can not find Fossa in the file “satnogs.txt”. Does it change to the other file?

Most of the Fossa’s has reentered.
