Hi Satnogs Community,

We have a launch coming up this Monday night and it would be great to get some help tracking, especially those first few beacons. The TBEx mission will be studying plasma bubbles near the equator. Initial details are here: https://exploration.engin.umich.edu/tbex/.

Launch time is scheduled for 24 June 2019 23:30 EDT / 25 June 2019 03:30 UTC. It’s a night launch of a Falcon Heavy. Should be spectacular.

Initial TLEs are:

TBEX-A
1 99999U          19176.14583333 -.00000000  00000-0  00000-0 0 00003

Beacon is every 10s or so on the following frequencies. Beacon information, see link above.

  • TBEx-A @ 437.485 MHz
  • TBEx-B @ 437.535 MHz

Thanks,
