Tomorrow there is the Bandwagon-2 launch, let’s gather some info about the launch and track some of its satellites.

A good source for the satellites is this thread:

K4KDR · December 20, 2024, 4:06am

From tinyGS.com, we’ve got -10- (!!!) LoRa sats all on 400.16 - sure hope they have unique identifiers in their telemetry!

They are ONDOSAT-OWL-3 /4/5/6/7/8/9/10/11 & 12.

Oops I’ve just realized that I had added wrong date for the launch:

It’s going to be 2024-12-21 11:34 according to celestrak.org.

cgbsat · December 20, 2024, 12:13pm

Spaceflight Now reports 11:58UTC on Dec 21st.

dl7ndr · December 20, 2024, 6:25pm

ONDOSAT OWL-1 has MGL6660owl1
ONDOSAT OWL-2 has MGL6660owl2

So, we can hope for MGL6660owl3 and so on.

From https://www.spacex.com/launches/mission/?missionId=bandwagon-2 announced 11:34 UTC, so let’s go with it for now.

OK2AWO · December 21, 2024, 8:51am

Hi, anyone got the prelimenaries for LASARsat? It doesn’t seem to be in Celestrak prelim, or under a different ID?

fredy · December 21, 2024, 8:54am

Due to the military primary payload there isn’t any TLE for a couple of satellites. However using any of the already announced preliminary TLE sets should work fine.

I’m going to post here in the next hours the TLE we are going to use in SatNOGS DB and Network using the temporary NORAD IDs.

marcelfr · December 21, 2024, 8:56am

LasarSat and CroCube should track ONDOSAT-OWL-11. They are in the same container.

PE0SAT · December 21, 2024, 10:42am

As mentioned in the SatNOGS Matrix channel that gives the following TLE.

Scheduled 963 observations for the first 48h:

Satellite	Observations
98729 DJIBOUTI-1B	174
98728 CTC-0	185
98799 CroCube	294
98797 LASARsat	310

CroCube and CTC-0 are received.

There are some signals in DJIBOUTI-1B observations but 90% they are not belong to the satellite. This based on the fact that the TLE on both CroCube and CTC-0 were pretty good, so we don’t expect DJIBOUTI-1B signals to follow such curve as that in those observations.

CroCube is alive and observed

First observation, correctly identified in Matrix from CW Morse
https://network.satnogs.org/observations/10801677/

Second observation with data packet decoded showing OBC housekeeping
https://network.satnogs.org/observations/10802230/

Thank you for the unmatched support and effort. CroCube is the first Croatian satellite focusing on HAM and STEM outreach.

K4KDR · December 21, 2024, 5:56pm

Seems that at least some of the ONDOSAT-OWL LoRa sats are being decoded, so it’s always fun to see more & more of the objects in these mass deployments move into the “alive” category! Let’s see who else is heard in the coming hours…
