Congratulations to the SilverSat Team! All those SSDV downlinks were great fun and produced a lot of excellent images.

Last pass over the Eastern U.S. was CW-only.

The G means it transmitted SSDV for 1 to 2 minutes. The last image is really small, so it could be a short session. Is anyone seeing SSDV’s?

This appears to be a signal from Astrocast 0.1 (However, the satellite was still alive at that moment).

The last signal I saw on the SilverSat network was during THIS observation (Minutes before the obseservation #13886513).

Yeah, that’s not us.

I highly suspect we have re-entered.

@riyantkhalap28 There should be an SSDV pass near you starting 2026-04-24T19:02:39. Could you watch for it?

To everyone else, could someone schedule the pass on the SatNogs station in Mumbai (SatNOGS Network - Ground Station Mumbai-RTL-1)?

cannot schedule, because sat status is decayed:

@dvdiyen could you also try listening?

Its low elevation of 9 deg. In an urban area its difficult to pick. Will try to track.
