Dont forget, the 401-405 MHz use intensively by the meteo sondes, especially in the standard balloon launch time at 00:0 and 12:00 hours.

I have updated the tle of Delfi-PQ, with another 4 passes. I needed to fit all parameters, to get the residual down.

This gives tle:

1 70302U          22013.68430822  .00000000  00000-0  57534-2 0    02
2 70302  97.5162  83.4574 0029162 252.9888 109.8842 15.13954558    05
# 20220114.37-20220116.48, 114 measurements, 0.044 kHz rms

I hope this tle is accurate for a while.

Maybe not so good idea to try to fit all the parameters. Over such a long arc the transmit frequency might have change slightly, masking as changes in the parameters in this fit. How much did each parameter change with the fit? Perhaps a better idea is to use only the last 2 days of data or so, and only fit mean anomaly and perhaps mean motion.

A new TLE set for Grizu-263A by the team, it is not fully accurate but it is better than the post-launch one of Celestrak:

Grizu-263A

That is also possible, and gives indeed a low residual.

1 70302U          22013.68430822  .00000000  00000-0  57534-2 0    02

# 20220115.81-20220116.48, 60 measurements, 0.021 kHz rms

I do not have enough experience to say which tle will hold up better in the future.

Hello,

SATLLA-2A and SATLLA-2B nano-satellites are both using LoRa protocol only. However, a new protocol was added to their webpage which is wrong.

For any question/issue please contact the SATLLA team at kcg(at)g.ariel.ac.il.

Regards

Thanks for letting us know, it seems that the satellite that was visible in SATLLA-2B was CSIM satellite.

I guess they won’t be receiving any support from SatNOGS then!
How about using a non-closed protocol next time. LoRa does not belong in the amateur radio band.

@calvin There are some observations on 2022-01-15 with an unknown signal that maybe is PION-BR1. Can you take a look and let us know? It seems to follow the 1min interval and it is close to the frequency. Here is the link with the observations:

https://network.satnogs.org/observations/?future=0&good=1&bad=0&unknown=0&failed=0&norad=99480

Do you manage to receive anything?

Unfortunately this is ASTROCAST 0.1 transmitting 150KHz off from its coordinated frequency. Thanks @EelkeVisser for his help finding this.

Thanks. We understand that. We plan to use a non-closed protocol the next sat. Nevertheless, we use tinyGS as a platform to receive messages. Thank you.

Updated the previous tle of Delfi-PQ:

I decided to use 3 groups of passes, because the center group only had a few points. Only the MA and MM have been updated to:

1 70302U          22013.68430822  .00000000  00000-0  57534-2 0    02

Great! Checked with ikhnos, added in DB (with the temporary NORAD ID and propagated appropriatelly) and in Network.

The .5k GFSK downlink from SanoSat-1 is alive! Congrats to the Project Team from Nepal.

The latest TLE we use for the GRIZU-263 is as follows :

GRIZU-263A

This fits better than the current

@EA4GPZ I cannot decode GRIZU-263A using gr_satellites :frowning:
Maybe an update needed for these parameters;

  • manchester coding is enabled which has been set by thje following command
setEncoding(RADIOLIB_ENCODING_MANCHESTER);
  • CRC is IBM CRC that has been set by the following parameters
setCRC(2, 0xFFFF, 0x8005, false)

Does the decoder module for gr_satellites need an update to be able to decode ?

Thanks

The first Satnogs passes with clear indication of what resembles FOSSA Satellites, The TLE seems to be way off though. SatNOGS Network - Observation 5315277 SatNOGS Network - Observation 5318157

I can see clear +/-5KHz 9k6 beacons but the 3º elevation and erroneous doppler correction seems off.

Unfortunately we haven’t been able to decode yet to confirm it’s a FOSSASAT-2E

Here are the latest TLE’s from LEOLABS, we can confirm FOSSASAT-2E1 is probably FOSSAT_A and FOSSASAT-2E4 is probably FOSSAT_C

RE: cannot decode GRIZU-263A using gr_satellites

Can you share an audio example so I can check the decoder and maybe also see what these updates will produce?

The following input can be read by gr_satellites:

-wavfile WAVFILE | --rawfile RAWFILE | --rawint16 RAWINT16 | --audio [DEVICE]

Please also share the sample rate.
