Hi

Pocketqubes are free now from UNISAT-7 this morning!
STECCO and DIY-1 were copied.

For your information BCCSAT-1 use GMSK 4K8 G3RUH
Thank you so much

Any public source for that?

EDIT I’m asking because in https://mailman.amsat.org/hyperkitty/list/amsat-bb@amsat.org/message/EWJNTVQUHYFEM5HT5SJSNYKQ3S3KHPWT/ there isn’t any info about it.

DIY-1 is sending RTTY 100 BD 7N2 SHIFT 450

SATGNOS stations are receiving in wrong CW mode, please correct to USB mode
for properly decodification.

54

The transmitter is already created but not used as we don’t have a special flowgraph(gnuradio script) for USB mode, this is why we currently use the CW one. If we use the USB transmitter, SatNOGS stations will run a generic FM flowgraph.

No identification as we expect TBA TLE sets to be assigned and also more TLE sets, you can notice that some satellites fit on the same object. Some of the satellites fit also objects with NORAD ID 88810 and 88812 that may be some of the missing TLE sets.

EDIT: I forgot to thank @cgbsat that confirmed independently with strf observations the status and some of the fits above and found out about the 888XX TLE sets.

BCCSAT-1 has just been received: https://network.satnogs.org/observations/3836112/

Interesting how the CW is transmitted in relation with the GMSK signal.

Currently it fits better OBJECT N(47944), as the UNISAT-7.

The CW appears to be performed on whatever tone the GMSK packet finished up on…

Some changes on TLE sets we follow after @PE0SAT strf analysis:

For GRBAPLHA we now follow OBJECT G(47938)
For KSU-CUBESAT we now follow OBJECT Y(47954)

I saw from SatNOGS observations that BCCSAT, that was launched with FEES satelite, is on 22R and well tracked, while FEES are still on 22N which is quite far. Can TLE of FEES be changed from object 22N to object 22Q or 22R?

Best Regards
Milo YT2CQ

I’ve updated to OBJECT R, but have in mind that it will not make any significant difference. The best way to see that is by using a software, like Gpredict, that shows the visibility from the ground. In this case as you can see in the image bellow whichever ground station tracks the one OBJECT will also track the other too as the actual difference of the rize/set time between the two OBJECT is some seconds:

Latest update using ikhnos, which by the way has a new version. All the TLE sets are assigned to objects, however there are still missing ones:

We are missing several TLE sets, except from the current number of the sets which is less than the number of deployed satellites, there are several cases that we don’t have good fits. For example we miss at least two objects between OBJECT F and OBJECT M that will fit DIY-1 and SMOG-1.

Also in many cases we go back and forth on rejecting/adding objects, this is one more result of missing TLE sets, as current objects change their orbit parameters and fit(or not) the observations we have for each satellite.

Unfortunately we haven’t received again STECCO, however it seems that there is at least one unknown satellite that transmits at 435.805 and fits the TLE sets of this deployment. In some cases the signal looks almost the same with BCCSAT-1 and some other like CW or a simple carrier. We have created a satellite in DB with temporary NORAD ID 99719 to watch this satellite. Another possible satellite could be at 435.795 but we still need more observations to confirm it.

Some of the observation where the unknown satellite is visible:

Do you also use ikhnos against the analyst 88XXX objects?
