We will try to update those every 12h . Let’s see how this goes!
@sputnix please let us know if those are working for you. We would love to live chat with the team too (join us on https://app.element.io/?#/room/#satnogs:matrix.org )

Today AMSAT/CelesTrak/SpaceTrack/NORAD TLEs got updated. So we used them. Tomorrow fresh ones will be better most probably. We got @sputnixru matrix account, so we are online at least until reentry and next time we launch hopefully :). Thanks again for all your work!

EDIT: just to clarify that these TLE sets have adjusted more parameters than the previous and are based on more observations.

The following TLEs are now in the network, thanks @fredy!

These TLEs were generated using my STRF tools (GitHub - cbassa/strf: Radio Frequency Satellite Tracking). On my SatNOGS stations (#39 and #40) I have modified the satnogs-flowgraphs by adding a UDP sink directly after the SDR source block. This UDP sink streams the raw IQ data on the local network and gets fed into STRF using netcat and a local fifo. These commands are started using a pre-observation script, which also starts the STRF rffft command to create timestamped waterfalls. Hence, for each SatNOGS observation I also get a timestamped waterfall.

From the timestamped waterfalls, the time and frequency of the SiriusSat beacons are measured and stored. These measurements make up the Doppler curves, and with Doppler curves covering a few days, a new TLE is fitted.

This is a comparison of this mornings Doppler curves against the CSpOC TLE:
