Where did the information about Albapod-7 come from?

EIRSAT-1 is IARU coordinated, and is (supposedly, coordination was in 2019…) on 437.1 MHz - IARU Sat Coordinator

Given the secretive nature of this launch, we might have difficulty getting TLEs…

Yep, from the nasaspaceflight forums, we have:

SPACE-X EOIRSAT VANDENBURG SPACE FORCE STATION, FL (sic)
PRIMARY   -29 NOV 1804Z-1918Z
BACKUP   -30 NOV 1804Z-1918Z

No other details yet. Seems to be to SSO though.

It’s listed on Wikipedia, though I’m not sure this page fully reflects it being included in this launch.

EIRSAT-1 Mission Description from ESA

Updated preliminary TLEs:

According to this call the launch is for 2023-12-01 18:18 UTC. Also first post is updated with the latest informations.

From the same site:

To enter this competition, please send in your recording, timestamp of passage over your ground station, and the location of your ground station to cubesats@esa.int. Be sure to include “EIRSAT-1 competition” in the subject of the e-mail. By participating, you agree to the ESA Academy data privacy notice.

Finally it looks like that the TLE set in that page is a placeholder and not a real one.

Satellites will be available for scheduling in Network a couple of hours before the launch. I’m going to schedule for the first hours but station owners feel free to remove/change my observations if you want to observe other satellite than the scheduled.

According to - SpaceX - Launches the launch time is a minute later… at 2023-12-01 18:19 UTC. The TLE above moved to the new launch time:

Hi everyone,

One of our satellite called ENSO - from University Space Center of Montpellier, France - is part of tonight’s launch. Is that possible to have help of the community to track it in early phases after ejection ?

here is our latest predicted TLE :

01-ENSO
1 00001U 00001A   23335.82074229 -.00000000  00000-0  00000-0 0    17
2 00001  97.4600  40.0093 0004363 230.6880 199.2660 15.181357760   05

And here some informations :

  • frequency : 436.500 Mhz
  • Modulation/speed : GMSK2400

is that possible to add it to the DB?
Thank’s,
Sincerly

@Dereckt in the iaru coordination I see that the frequency is 436.500 MHz, is this a typo? Which frequency is the right?

made a typo srry, it’s indeed 436.500 MHz.
I changed the value in my initial post

@Dereckt one more question, is it deployed directly or through ION deployer?

Deployed from ISISpace’s deployer

Hi all!

Greetings from the EIRSAT-1 team! We’re currently in Vandenberg waiting for the launch.

I wanted to share this TLE which we will be using initially.

This is what the team back in Dublin will be using to track the satellite unless we get a post-deployment update. If we do get any updates we’ll be sure to post them too!

Thanks so much!
David
