The difficulties encountered in tracking the MDQUBESAT-2 satellite are concerning. It appears that the Keplerian elements provided by Satnogs either contain inaccuracies or the identification number is incorrect. While attempting to track the satellite over Argentina, a station in Asia was simultaneously decoding its telemetry on the Tinygs network.

Thanks for the note!
We have never identified the object but instead we followed object 58642 as a possible one.
However I’ve checked after your post here and the satellite is identified in space-track.org as object 58665 and I’ve also seen that is the same object that tiny.gs is using for tracking it. So, I’ve changed it in DB and Network.
PS If you notice something similar for other satellites in the future, please suggest the necessary changes directly in SatNOGS DB site.
