Should not have happened in the past ~2 months (since @fredy worked on the scheduling checks). Please report anything you see.

User tkale has done it many times in the past week.
Currently on GS #23 there are 3 obs for MOVE-II that have been scheduled twice, ie at the same time.
712408 & 712428, 712409 & 712430, 712410 & 712432.
Same has been happening on other GS’s since about 31 May.

There are also duplicate observations in station #355.

@tkale please let us know what are the steps you follow for scheduling your observations.

Unfortunately I’m unable to reproduce it.

Steps that I follow (Basically use the web UI to schedule. No autoscheduler or API usage.)

  1. On https://network.satnogs.org/observations/new/ , Select MOVE-II satellite
  2. Select the stations I want (Ususally 2, 355, 440, 498, 15, 329,673,56,451,499; But I have been experimenting with more stations over the past week.)
  3. Select the max possible future date(I think +48 hours is the current limit)
  4. Click Calculate --> Schedule all the returned observations.

I repeat these steps approximately once everyday.

I assume this is why the I have been seeing quite a lot of observations with empty waterfalls.

For Eg. https://network.satnogs.org/observations/712410/ and https://network.satnogs.org/observations/712432/
