Unfortunately the next orbits, that are crucial to fit and fix the TLE, are above areas without many stations, and on those that they are scheduled the passes are very low. Let’s see if we will manage to get any other successful pass. ![]()
And here is a TLE update after the pass over Europe:

Re-calculated with another method the data and here is a better TLE set:

There is also a TLE from space-track.org:
0 OBJECT XL

However it seems to be already deprecated.
Using the last data, a small fix:

By @tammojan and the latest decodes from the Dwingeloo observation, it seems that the voltage is at 7V, which is near the limit. Let’s see if it manages to decode until the end. ![]()
No surprise, but nothing seen over the Eastern U.S. 0823utc; max EL would have been 49°.
Thanks for coordinating the final orbits - very interesting & a lot of fun.
Very clear signals heard on the 8:34 pass over the Dwingeloo telescope. Unfortunately the satnogs recording failed, so no decodes ![]()

The final “G”-telemetry from Europe - 25KHz low, seems to speed up now …
Thanks Fredy for the great TLE-support!
