Hello, All.

These TLEs are CANYVAL satellites from South Korea🇰🇷.

If you can help our satellites, please track them!

Total 1064 observations have been scheduled for all satellites for the first 24h except those in Unisat-7:

To station owners, feel free to reschedule any observations if you want to observe something else in your stations.

To station owners please make sure you don’t schedule too far in the future, firstly for the known reason that TLE are not accurate, and secondly for this launch we expect 5 more satellites to be deployed and we need to let some timeslots for them too.

To satellite teams good luck!

Bellow are the TLE sets that we used for scheduling. Satellites without public TLE sets use ones of the other satellites:

@fredy.

As I heard from Korean cubesat operators, “Time of SC separation from the Nose Module” is about 16000 seconds.

Absolute separation time is “2021-03-22T10:34”

@kapjp1 GRBALPHA has been received… the TLE weren’t accurate so I used the ones of Pumba(Canyval) that looks to fit better and will give better results.

NANOSATC-BR2 is also alive:

https://network.satnogs.org/observations/3818795/

It has faint signal and it is 5KHz off but it is definitely there.

@hrkim we can confirm that KMSL is transmitting here is one of the good observations:

Very sorry for telemetry upload in ERROR to object # 99726.

NO data was received from CubeSX-Sirius-HSE. I have re-uploaded decodes to the correct object # 99725.

A quick update, spacetrack has published 7 TLE sets for this launch but only two fit the current satellites. More specificaly OBJECT F(47937) fits unisat-7 and we have used it in DB and Network for the satellites that are expected to be deployed today and OBJECT G(47938) that fits the signals from all the other satellites for now and we have added it into DB and Network.

Does anyone has info about the telemetry format of SIMBA?

Unfortunately there isn’t any info online, at least easy to find. Given that the satellite isn’t IARU coordinated, I don’t expect to find it. I guess the best way is to contact the team directly and ask for it.

@kapjp1 I can see that we have started gathering data frames in DB from GRBALPHA, could you link or upload here details on how we can decode those?

This will allow to create a kaitai struct for generating a decoder and also allow to create a dashboard in dashboard.satnogs.org for GRBALPHA.

Almost 8h from the deployment of Unisat-7 satellites and none has been received. Most observations are low passes but I would expect we had at least some faint signals. Let’s keep watching!

No change from the rest of the satellites, except from ChallengeOne which may transmits to 401.575MHz instead of what we thought(401.500MHz). I’ve created a new transmitter and changed some of the scheduled observation to check that frequency and see if we can confirm that this is ChallengeOne. The new frequency comes from @pierros strf observation:

Please, find here the description of GRBAlpha message items (in section 4): https://needronix.eu/products/cormorant/hamradio-user-guide/

It seems that the recently fetched TLE (from Space-Track) is wrong for GRBAlpha. It is clearly seen on this very good quality observation: https://network.satnogs.org/observations/3826178/
