RS95S is the call for QMR-KWT-2 so absolute sure this satellite is active

@geoscan

Lobachevsky is also on the rocket. 436.320 MHz GFSK 9600

no signal over my station

[K4KDR]

On the 1650-1700utc pass over the middle-US, a couple of the LoRa sats were received by tinyGS stations along that path!

@fredy I believe a satellite went unnoticed… The GALAPAGOS-UTE-SWSU (HC1PX) which is even transmitting SSTV

Freq: 437.050 MHz

Some operators have already received the SSTV from the satellite and the telemetry parameters are good.

[PE0SAT]

Is there more information available ?

[PE0SAT]

Analysing my STRF run, signals that seems to be from satellites that belong to this launch.

This looks like DOKA on 435.240 MHz

My guess, the same satellites on 435.640 MHz

A satellite with USP framing on 435.750 MHz

Another that seems to use DOKA on 435.850 MHz

And also active on 436.030

Something pretty wide on 436.740 MHz

A signal on 436.950 with USP framing

This could be SSTV on 437.050

A signal on 437.180 looks like USP framing and GEOSCAN framing on 437.200

And another with USP framing on 437.350

[K4KDR]

Amazing work, Jan!!

[pu4elt]

The GALAPAGOS-UTE-SWSU it is currently transmitting SSTV as mentioned, and its telemetry is modulated in ax1143 like the RUZAEVKA-390.

Regarding the satellite, it is a Russian-Ecuadorian 3U CubeSat (a partnership between a university in Ecuador and a university in Russia)… It has an onboard ADSB module, and its main mission is to perform remote sensing of the Earth’s surface in the Galapagos Islands region.

@fredy another extra temporary ID for SCORPION with the following TLE

GALAPAGOS also uses AFSK 1k2 but as before not using the “correct” tones and therefor unable to decode.

For now I created this Yaml, but that needs tuning after finding the correct tones.

norad: 98428

    deviation: 500
    framing: AX.25

    - *tlm

Here is also the Yaml for SCORPION, my guess is that will work looking at the decode from @EU1SAT using the standard AFSK sound modem version.

@PE0SAT

For now I created this Yaml, but that needs tuning after finding the correct tones.

Are there any observations or personal recordings of the audio?
