Both satellite have been added in DB and here are the TLE based on the ION deployer’s one:

First post updated with the entries.
Any word on a time, or social media account, that might announce the ION_SVC-* deployments?
Just this message from D-Orbit’s X account from yesterday.
We’re glad to highlight @AlbaOrbital, a returning passenger aboard our ION SCV Eminent Emmanuel!
The two AlbaOrbital deployers, AlbaPods, will deploy 6 pocketcube satellites
Welcome aboard!
Nothing from Alba Orbital and nothing on their websites.
Hi friends,
This RX seems good. By the sound it could really be HADES-R

No signals from Hades-R and Poquito at pass 21:2x UTC for me.
HADES-R NOTHING HEARD over KO33ru
18:18-18:30 UTC
19:50-20:05 UTC
21:20-21:37 UTC
Used TLE from SatNOGS
At that time the Hades-R was still inside of the OTV. So I dont think that signal is Hades-R
No signal was heard from the HADES-R and POQUITO satellites at the ~01:50UTC pass with approximately 70 degrees elevation to my QTH here in Brazil
ION_SVC-16 pass over the Eastern U.S. 0345utc max EL = 72°, but nothing seen from HADES-R on 436.888.
Using an omni antenna, so exact TLE not required.
3 distinct HADES-R 200bps FSK transmissions were observed at my location during 0300Z pass over USA. Signals weak. No decodes.
Looks like both SKYLINK-1 and SKYLINK-2 are transmitting beacons.
Can we update the TLE for the SKYLINK-2 as follows
1 99999U 25000XX 25023.57810304 .00004178 00000-0 -29254-4 0 9999
2 99999 97.4594 106.1273 0002517 218.8660 320.9107 15.16419471 59107
A Soundmodem from UZ7HO to decode HADES-R.
From AMSAT-EA with sample file and documentation.
Hi,
Can you share a screenshot of the waterfall? It can be very useful to see the pattern.
Thanks a lot,

Hello Doug.
Thanks for your report. Could you please check the exact time of your SWL?. At 0300z Hades-R had footprint over Australia and Antarctica far away from US
73
The TLE changed to the temporary NORAD ID we use in SatNOGS DB:
1 98656U 25000XX 25023.57810304 .00004178 00000-0 -29254-4 0 9998
2 98656 97.4594 106.1273 0002517 218.8660 320.9107 15.16419471 59106
HADES-R ACTIVE!!! And demodulated!
Max. Elev. 5°
1 Frame I uploaded to SatNOGS DB
IQ WAV files are also available
Huge thanks UZ7HO for new SoundModem!!!

Good RX here too:

We think the battery was low. With battery charged, longer packets and with higher power.
