As we didnā€™t have any luck with ROM-3 following 58340 Object, Iā€™ve changed its TLE to the one of the HADES-D above. They deployed together so maybe there is a better chance if ROM-3 is transmitting, to receive by using HADES-D TLE than other random objects from this launch.

The 1k2 downlink from ION_SCV-013 is extremely strong on 401.415 MHz, but the pass over the U.S. East Coast around 0316utc on 13-Dec-2023 was around 3-minutes ahead of the TLE in Celestrak. So, I donā€™t know if the TLE is bad or 58300 is not this satellite.

Can you check if the signal could be on of the rest ION deployers? Where they in your field of view at that time?

Iā€™ve seen several in SCV-013 observations from time to time. Also I donā€™t expect any important change on TLE sets, however it wouldnā€™t be the first time weā€™ve seen one. Finally in the latest observations in Network I havenā€™t seen any SCV-013 signal, so we need to check.

There are 13 new TBA TLE sets from space-track.org, so now we have 100 from the 113 expected ones:

Great idea!

My decodes were from 03:13:58 to 03:17:02. Here are all the IONā€™s in Celestrak at those two times.

Screenshot from 2023-12-13 11-05-49
.
Screenshot from 2023-12-13 11-06-31

ION_SCV-013 (if it was the transmitter heard) was well past me by that 03:17:02 point in contast with the position shown hereā€¦ not even at the point of closest approach yet.

None of the other IONā€™s appear to have been in position to deliver the packets observed.

Reviewing a few of the recent ā€˜Observationsā€™ for ION_SCV-013, there are very strong signals in the waterfalls but with wild, non-linear plots which I suppose means they were not utilizing an accurate TLE for the transmitted signals being heard.

A quick status update with the new TLE sets for the satellites that couldnā€™t fit to any of the existent ones. Note that as TLE are still in TBA status we will need to wait for identification:

@K4KDR It is very confusing on the ION observations, Iā€™m not sure what happens:

Iā€™ve checked two of them with ikhnos:

The only objects that are close to the signal on both of them are objects 58317 and 58330, however both are far from saying that are fits.

Iā€™ve also checked them against known objects in DB near this frequency (other ION deployers and satellites) and none of them fits.

My assumption/guess for now, if nothing goes wrong with the TLE from space-track.org for SCV-013 and if it hasnā€™t changed orbit (I think it has thrusters and can change its orbit), then we may have at least two different satellites that we donā€™t track in DB near IONā€™s frequency.

If I find some free time, Iā€™ll try to do a couple more checks.

I suppose that itā€™s going to be some other satellite on or near 401.415 MHz that happens to be using 1k2 AX.100.

On the pass just ended here around 1630utc (13-Dec-2023), those strong packets were several minutes BEHIND ION_SCV-013:

ā€¦ in fact, I was still getting decodes when ION_SCV-013 was LOS here. The ā€˜IONā€™ that was most closely centered on the capture of these packets was ION-MK01 which is listed on a different frequency and I see from a couple of recent observations that the HEX decode of its packets is quite different than I am getting here.

gpredict

ā€¦ so, Iā€™ll stop uploading these decodes as ION_SCV-013 and will try to make time to run these I/Q files through STRF to see if they match up with something else that happens to match this downlink freq and mode.

By chance is the SatNogs catalog of tracked objects searchable by frequency, frequency-range, mode, raw hex decode patterns, etc?

You can search in the transmitters page, adding frequency in the search field will filter the entries. Just have in mind that if this signal is the same with the one we have in Networkā€™s observations then probably isnā€™t in the DB.

Thank you so much - what a great resource!!

Sorted by baud rate, there are a limited number in the area of 401.4xx MHz using 1k2 baud. Very interesting!

High pass of HADES-D over the U.S. East Coast just now; downlink clearly visible but no indication that it was hearing me on the FM Voice uplink.

Does anyone know if the voice repeater is enabled all the time at this point?

Hi,

the repeater is still being tested so it is not enabled all the time. When the tests are finished iIt will be. It will be announced in Twitter @AmsatSpain

Does the ā€˜Lemur 2 NANAZā€™ satellite referenced in todayā€™s announcement refer to one that weā€™re already tracking, or some additional object? Thanks!

I donā€™t think is one of these we track, by maybe Iā€™m wrong. We need to check again the names the quantity.

To be honest, my impression was that LEMUR 2 NANAZ was already deployed. Wondering if this wasnā€™t the case or if the announcement is delayed. Anyway, Iā€™ll check the next days, letā€™s keep an eye.
