Hello! I am from the Sapling team. We have a new TLE:


SAPLING
1 00000U 00000AAA 23107.59813617  .00000000  00000-0  11787-2 0    02
2 00000  97.4760   3.4376 0029551 148.8917  66.2545 15.23004631    01

Most of our work has been with the TinyGS ground station network, but I will be more active on here.

Our LoRa parameters are 437.4 MHz, SF7, CR8, BW 125KHz, with Low Data Rate Optimize turned on. Telemetry is in a custom binary format, you can use these python scripts to decode: Sapling Giganteum Telemetry Decoder · GitHub

We’re still working out some issues with the GPS, it is only fixing intermittently because of the high rotation rate of the satellite. We are going to attempt to detumble it this week which should hopefully improve reliability of the GPS fix.
