Dear, All.
I hope to get your help regarding our satellite STEP CubeLab-II. STEP CubeLab-II is in PVSAT and will be separated from PVSAT tomorrow afternoon about 3:00 PM (KST).
The TLE of PVSAT is as follow:
2022-065A
1 52894U 22065A 22179.22536086 .00000054 00000+0 21446-4 0 9995
2 52894 98.0197 330.2826 0008615 213.1705 271.3716 14.57557373 1002
The transmitter for STEP CubeLab-II is developed by us. The specification for STEP CubeLab-II is as follow:
GMSK
437.485 MHz
9600 bps
AX.25
I hope to find our satellite based on your help.
Would you help to find the satellite tomorrow?

@hrkim I see that you use radio amateur frequency, could you link to your IARU coordination?
EDIT: The satellite has been added in DB with the temporary NORAD ID 99390. It will be available for scheduling in Network a couple of hours before the deployment.

So the UTC deployment time for STEP CUBELAB-II is 0600 utc on 29-June-2022, did I do that correctly?

Dear, Fredy
Thank you for supporting us.
Command to PVSAT for the deployment of STEP CubeLab-II ‘22. 6. 29, 16:50 (KST)
SOLETOP is operating SATNOGS.
I will add STEP2 in the observation.
Would you let me know how to add the observations?

Thanks for the update, I’ve scheduled observation for the first 24h. Please also you or @soletop answer to my previous question:
You should be able to schedule observations now if you have the permissions to do so.
Dear, Fredy.
TLE is updated by KARI as follow.
I will check the IARU link with Chosun univ.
Best regards,

Very nice downlink packets consistent with 9k6 seen on 2-minute interval 0900utc over the U.S. Doppler track matched PVSAT very well; unfortunately too weak for me to decode - not enough elevation. Good luck!

Here is the first successful observation of STEP2 in Network SatNOGS Network - Observation 6147666 and here is the first one with decoded data SatNOGS Network - Observation 6147651 .
Hello, Fredy.
Thank you for your support.
Battery works well. We will check the others via TMTC operation.
Best regards,

@soletop is the satellite transmitting all the time or only above certain areas or only after commanding it?
STEP Cubelab-ii transmit the beacon every 60 seconds,
After 2 hours, we will command to the satellite for checking all the status over Korean penisula.

Thank you for the update.
@fredy
I updated new satelllite deployed from PVSAT as follow.
RANDEV / KAIST
RANDEV will be launched tomorrow afternoon similar time with STEP CubeLab-II
Frequency : 436.0285MHz
Modulation : BPSK w/ G3RUH
Datarate : 1200 bps and 9600 bps (Default)
Tranceiver : ISIS VHF/UHF Full Duplex Transceiver
Apart from this,
Would you help us command via other site?
Is it possible to use Satnogs for commanding?

Currently commanding isn’t supported from the Network, however is in our plans.
