New satellite: Światowid

It took a while for new TLEs to become available but 6 were published earlier this evening. They are objects 44426 through 44431, with 44428, 44429 and 44430 close together, followed by 44431 and then 44426 and 44427 close together as well.

Swiatowid seems to be best matched by object 44426, though object 44427 can not be ruled out yet. We’ll use 44426 and wait for them to drift apart before making the final identification. It is expected that KRAKSAT is the other object, as they were launched together. To date we have not received signals from KRAKSAT.
