The pair (at least!) of 62.5k LoRa transmitters continue to be decoded along the same orbit as KOSAR-1.5 (now UN-encrypted!), so it’s reasonable that they are likely from the 28-Dec launch.
I had made a mistake on the frequency of the 2nd object; now that that is corrected (to 436.175) in tinyGS, both objects are accumulating decodes when over populated areas:
To my simple analysis, 8 bits are 32 ms long.
This makes 250 bit/s.
The shift between mark and space is 2 kHz.
The preamble is about 5.2 sec long, then follows a 8 bytes syncword or so and then a 6.2 sec long payload.
There are no HDLC flags (0x7E) which means no AX.25.
I’ve tried MixW to decode it without success.
based on this tle, i try identified mysterious signal that @pu4elt and me got on 437.2 Mhz with strf tools, and best fitting satellite is 98441 - AIS 62
Tried to track at the QMR-KWT 2 TLE on 03:41 UTC this morning and found these signals at around 436.850, 436.950, 437.200, 437.350. I
I’m not sure which satellite are these, maybe there should be more but I’m using highly directional antenna and the satellite may outside the antenna coverage
Edit:
Ooh, maybe its the AIS satellites ![]()
no mysterious signal there. the mysterious signal should seen like a double line and continues signal on waterfall,
i also make obs on 02:09-02:17 UTC, and the mysterious signal not found:
On a related note to bali’s last post, I am seeing these 62k5 LoRa packets spread all through the 436/437 MHz spectrum. I have a feeling that we’re going to find over time that a significant number of the sats from this launch are equipped with LoRa transmitters using all the same settings, differing only by RF freq.
And… seeing that the sonic.space site had marked AIST-ST as ‘active’, I found in their documentation a reference to 62k5 LoRa on 436.995 MHz. After recording tonight’s pass centered on 436.995 and determining the remainder of the LoRa parameters, I was able to decode most of the 1-minute interval frames centered quite neatly on AIST-ST’s frequency. I’ve submitted my findings to tinyGS in case they would like to add it as an object for that network to track.

Please correct SCORPION Transmitter AFSK 1k2 (not 1k143)
Vlad, I’ve been scanning for the LoRa downlink from PU-6 on 436.350 since the launch with nothing heard. Are you seeing signals from that satellite? Thanks!
I didn’t look. But the observations show signals:
Thanks!! I will record w/ an SDR tonight - perhaps I guessed some incorrect LoRa parameters.
Sorry for all the LoRa posts, but we can’t control what these sats are transmitting & if nothing else just the presence of ANY type of signal at all lets us know that half these 28-Dec objects aren’t “dead”.
Tonight I made an I/Q recording centered on 436.350 looking for anything (LoRa or otherwise) from Polytech Universe 6. Nothing was seen on that freq, but up on 436.550 there was a perfect 62.5k LoRa signal:
… which decodes as follows:
… since I don’t know what a good frame from PU-6 should look like, I have no idea if this is a PU-6 downlink 200 kHz higher than expected, or if it’s “yet another” of these 28-Dec satellites showing up w/ a LoRa downlink.
I have not found any listing for ‘anything’ on 436.550 from this deployment, but I could easily miss something. Please let me know if anyone spots documentation of an object that is supposed to be on 436.550 (assuming it’s not PU-6 way off-freq).
Thanks!
(I’m aware that Polytech Universe 3 is on 436.550, but it was not near me during this pass & has a different payload. All these 62k5 LoRa signals that we’re seeing from this 28-Dec launch have similar formats)
