New satellite: OPS-SAT

New satellite is waiting for launch, scheduled for 17.Dec.2019 https://www.arianespace.com/mission/ariane-flight-vs23/ . Is it possible to add the satellite to the database? No NORAD-ID is available at the moment, of course.

Transceivers on-board:
UHF - Detailed at https://github.com/esa/gr-opssat/blob/master/docs/os-uhf-specs.pdf
S-band up- and downlink.
X-band downlink.

I’ll try to provide more information as needed, but S- and X-band I think cannot be freely decoded. It would be great to use Satnogs to listen to the beacons, especially the first one!

Thanks,
Claudiu
