And I would say that in our received data we see satellite battery doesn’t have enough energy so being off in some territory can be happened

Unfortunately due to the generic parameters about the transmitter I can not confirm any of the information you ask for these observations.

I’m going to change the transmitter parameters in SatNOGS DB, so the new observations will be able to track better the satellite and may confirm the signals.

RS50S on 437.100 about 8 minutes earlier than TLE from 5th 04:51.

It needed several attempts for me to get the websocket of the proxy_mmt_gui running.
Now, also my callsign is on RS64S’s contributors list with currently 136 received frames from two observations.

also, considering the satellite state vector from seperation moment, the real TLE is proabably as followed:

tracking this pass would help a lot. tnx.

@fredy this is our transmitter spectrum mask as we seen modulation is 2FSK and center frequency equal to 436.75 MHz. can you share your carrier spectrum mask?

Again two Europe passes, I am sorry to say there are no clear signals or to weak to detect.

(update 09:33, this time with the correct freq, sorry for the confusion)

image

First pass started at 05:45 UTC and the second at 07:16 UTC

This spectrum shows all possible signal between 04:30 and 08:30 UTC with a center freq of 436.750 and a bw of 100 Khz

There are only already cataloged satellites.

technically, the different flowgraphs we use have varying filter bw, some has it fixed like the FM flowgraphs that we use when we’re not sure of the transmitter mode. the FSK has it’s width set based on the baudrate.
this filtered bw is fed to the demodulator and also the audio recording.
the waterfall is running on a wider bw than the recorded audio as we want to see a bigger slice of the spectrum for mismatching doppler etc.

in this case, sharing a FFT spectrum over time is more helpful, as this can be matched to the waterfalls in the observations.
if you can share either IQ or FM/FSK demodulated signals from the transmitter, it might be possible to match it by ear if it has a peculiar sound to it. or to generate FFT spectrum to be compared with the observations that we run.

Hi

We agree totally your technical interpretation.

For more clearance we can send you three below informations:

1-transmitter spectrum mask on carrier frequency in pnj or jpeg format.

2-iq file of our propagated signal.

3-even our decoder structure that shows our data.

We would like to arrange a technical meeting with you so that we can talk about how it works and the transmitter data interval scenario in more detail.

As I mentioned before, due to the satellite unstable power condition, it may was off during the pass.
In addition to that, do you think our TLE may be very different from real orbit? Since the signal has been frequently seen from satnogs stations?

We have seen TLE that where 8 minutes of and that specific satellite was also 7 KHz lower in frequency.

With that in mind, we will not find KOSAR by running automated obs, we first need to find the signal with the help of manual observations and or with software like STRF.

I am currently monitoring every 48 hours the whole spectrum between 400 - 404 and 434 - 438 MHz

This is what I have so far.

Just to be clear on this, still the good observations are not 100% sure. I mean these are the best candidates we have, but it could be something different than kosar.

We will keep monitoring the frequency in Network, and in more generic scans like the ones @PE0SAT described and if we see something let you know.

Fellow Hams, unfortunately my equipment especially the omnidirectional ham radio antenna is not really helpful for capturing cubesat signals.

Anyway on Nov. 9th at 22:14 UTC I captured this fragment of an SSTV image on 437.050 MHz in Robot-36.

Could someone please confirm if this was received from ZIMSAT-2 and how the complete image should have looked alike.

Thank you and regards.
