Transporter-12 Rideshare : VSFB SLC-4E : NET 14 January 2025 1849Z-1946Z

Thank you Jan for the TLE! We are seeing some deviations with this TLE and calculated a new one based on station 2410 - GAO UHF observatios. It seems to be a very good fit and we already used it for our passes:

Checked against one of my latest obs and these TLE are ok.

Hi Jan!
Here is a Ikhnos Plot from one of the last observations with high elevation (11042298). Am I interpreting the tool wrongly? We don’t have much experience with tle creation. The waterfall uses the current satnogs tle, ikhnos our tle.

Cheers
Tom

That looks spot on, these will be useful for the coming days.

While I’ve added your TLE set in DB and as you noticed with ikhnos it fits better the observations, Network didn’t use it as the epoch of the TLE is older than the one of @PE0SAT.

I’ve propagated below yours to a later epoch, this will fit better than the current but it will may need some extra fit. This extra fit I could try to make it later today.

Regarding HYDRA-T, I have analyzed the short recording that @PE0SAT shared earlier in this thread and realized that it uses the same modulation, coding and telemetry format as HADES-R. More info in this blog post. The AMSAT-EA telemetry parser will refuse to parse HYDRA-T packets because it checks the satellite ID, but this check can be commented out to obtain a valid parse. As with other commercial satellites transmitting in amateur spectrum, please use this information responsibly.

Thank you Dani @EA4GPZ !

Thanks for the info about the epoch. I used strf and found the option to reset the epoch. We used this TLE for our current pass and it worked fine:

Hi @laith_me,

I’m the operator of Waratah Seed-1, launched on Transporter 11 last year. We’re seeing a signal on 400.65 MHz that correlates to your orbit. Can you confirm you are also transmitting on 400.65MHz?

Hi Vlad,

In case you missed this.

I tried Daniel’s decoder, but no decoded frame came out, only

correlate_access_code_tag_bb :debug: Access code: bf35
correlate_access_code_tag_bb :debug: Mask: ffff
correlate_access_code_tag_bb :debug: writing tag at sample 1080

Daniel,

Some tools and an example here including modified HADES-R decoder.

Step 1 - Collect IQ (example IQ in folder; 50K sps) using your desired grc.
Step 2- Run through grc in folder to obtain frame. Will have to adjust BFO to obtain frame. HydraT.grc. (Use Hades-R satyaml file found in in updated gr-satellites)
Step 3 - change resulting frame to all UPPER CASE

3A 14 35 15 00 14 35 15 00 01 00 FF 0A 00 05 10 00 01 00 00 FF FF FF FF FF FF 00

Step 4 - run txt file containing frame through decoder (see example photo)

Hi all,

I am looking for some updated TLEs for some objects on this launch, namely Lyra-1, Centauri-7,8 and Winnebago-2. Turning to this forum due to lack of tracking on open source platforms. Not sure if this is an appropriate forum, so apologies in advance!

Thank you and appreciate the work this community does.

Welcome,

I can have a look with my STRF monitoring,
Please share details on frequencies and type of transmission.

Hi Jan,

Appreciate your response - the details I have are from transmitters listed on the SatNOGS DB, so confidence is low.

Winnebago-2 - S-Band Tx 2272.5MHz
Centauri-7 - UHF 400.22MHz
Centauri-8 - UHF 400.22MHz
Lyra-1 - Potential 401.2MHz, based on previous launches by the operator.

I appreciate this is a long shot so any results are greatly appreciated.

Jack
