It looks like that NINJASAT has limited transmissions. From two of them I’ve generated the TLE set bellow, hopefully is accurate enough to keep it in the field of view of the stations when it transmit again:

NINJASAT
1 99006U          23325.40000000  .00000000  00000-0  84388-4 0    01

In observation SatNOGS Network - Observation 8548670 there is a similar signal that @PE0SAT managed to demodulate and find similar frames with the one of @N6RFM post.

This makes a little stronger the possibility of this being NINJASAT.

Hi @fredy,
Currently, we only track UHF data on SatNOGS. Since we will open S-Band in the future, we deleted the existing S-Band transmitters in order not to occupy the stations.

No need to delete, we can set them as inactive for now :wink:

It seems that the previous TLE for PEARL 1C was off, I’ve recalculated one, not very very accurate but much better that the previous we used:

On this pass, the TLE is quite suitable

USA pass at 0332utc (22-Nov-2023) produced 5 (!!) 2k4 decodes from DJIBOUTI-1A.

Strongest I’ve seen those little 2k4 packets and it’s pouring down rain here at the moment. I hope the Team is getting their data from SatNogs - they should be very proud of how this sat is performing, especially for a 1st effort!

Hi @fredy ,

Can we change the currently used CONNECTA T3.1 and CONNECTA T3.2 TLEs created by SatNOGS to following TLEs ?

Thanks @satcolintel5 @je9pel @K4KDR and @ps_observer for the info!

Some comments:

About NINJASAT while it is probably the one we received and we’ve seen on other obs, the limited transmissions (receptions in SatNOGS) and the not confirmed frequency make hard to be 100% sure. I’ve tried to contact the team but I didn’t get any response, maybe too busy or my email went on spam folder. So, the only solution keep watching and waiting to see if these signals belong to the T9 launch.

About DJIBUTI 1A, indeed very good performance!

About the TLE sets, I’m checking them and adding them to DB in the next hour.

According to AMSAT-EA announcement (Nov’21):

HADES-D will be deployed on November 24 or 27 (11/21/2023)
D-Orbit has concluded the testing operations of the ION SCV-013 orbital transfer vehicle (OTV), so the deployment phase of the satellites contained therein will begin shortly. Telemetry data confirms that the orbiter is healthy and working properly.
There is still no confirmation of the exact deployment times, but it is considered Friday the 24th or Monday the 27th. As soon as we know, including the time, this news will be updated.

About other passangers, probably ROM-3 (thanks given to Felix, EA4GQS)

The TLE of the KAFASAT satellite is old and is not correct.
Please also update the TLE of the KAFASAT satellite.

I’ll try to produce a new TLE set later today.

@ea4bpn I’ll make sure that we will have some observations scheduled on Friday for HADES-D and ROM-3. If you get any updates, let us know!

From tinygs telegram there is the info that Apogeo satellites have been deployed today from ION deployer.

Bellow are the TLE sets that will be used for them in DB, the TLE are based on @satcolintel5 latest TLE set for the ION deployer with their NORAD ID changed to fit the temporary one that is used in DB:

Due to the size difference between ION deployer and the PICO satellites, these TLE sets are expected to be non-accurate soon.

Possibly 99007 Lemur 2 - Mango 2B best-fit strf observations (between 2A and 2B)_over last 24 hours and resulting TLE. Grain of salt with this one but since were still using Celestrak (supplemental) TLEs of 70343 from Nov 11th … and there’s a lot signal flying in formation around this one … it’s worth a shot. Nothing seen via Alaska #2051 so these are from 2134 here in Colorado (updated in site.txt)
