According to this page:

… it appears that launch is set for 3-Mar

Thanks, changed the post subject.

Looks like -6- of the sats will be from the HERMES family and deployed from D-Orbit ION over time:

Downlink freqs via ITU appear to be somewhere in the 401 MHz range + 2232 MHz (not clear on exact freq)

No details on the individual sats, but Exolaunch claims to have -27- objects on this launch

Worth noting that the launch times on the HERMES site and the UVSQ-Sat site are inconsistent.
HERMES says 3rd March 01:07Z
UVSQ-Sat says 3rd March 8:45 AM Paris time, so 7:45Z…

Dear all,

I am pleased to share an update regarding the upcoming Transporter-13 launch, which will deploy a new set of TEVEL 1U CubeSats. Following the success of the original TEVEL project, which involved eight CubeSats developed by high-school students, we are now launching the TEVEL2 mission.

The TEVEL2 mission consists of nine satellites (TEVEL2-1, TEVEL2-2, …), developed by the Tel Aviv University New Space Center in Israel and built by a new generation of high school students from different regions of the country. Each satellite is equipped with dedicated radiation sensors, identical across the fleet, developed by the Soreq Research Center in Israel.

From a communication standpoint, the satellites will function similarly to the original TEVEL mission, forming part of the ‘TEVEL network’. Each CubeSat carries an FM transponder with the following frequencies:

• Beacon transmissions: 436.400 MHz (9600bps BPSK G3RUH)

• FM transponder uplink: 145.970 MHz

• FM transponder downlink: 436.400 MHz

All nine satellites will operate on the same frequencies. However, to avoid interference, only one FM transponder will be activated at a time when their footprints overlap.

Further announcements will follow once we confirm that the satellites are successfully operational in orbit.

Best regards,
Dolev

Gunthers space page ( Orbital Launches of 2025 ) thinks that NILA might be on this launch - SatNOGS DB - NILA
Note that NILA was denied frequency coordination.

Thanks, I updated the initial post and found the decline IARU entry.

I fixed TEVEL-2 series as uncoordinated in IARU

Dear all,

JINJUSat-1B will be launched with Transporter-13.

So, I would like to request an update on this page.

JINJUSat-1B’s transmitter spec is as follows :

  • Frequency : UHF 435.185 MHz
  • Protocol : AX.25
  • Modulation : BPSK-G3RUH
  • Data rate : 9600bps
  • Beacon interval : 10s

I’ll share any additional information as it becomes available.

Thank you!

There aren’t any for now as there hasn’t been any suggestion in DB for these satellites until now or any request for adding them in DB.

I’m starting today to add satellites of T13, it will take some time, when I add them I’ll let you know the temporary NORAD IDs (the process it may take until tomorrow to be completed).

Latest FAA advisories ( Current Operations Plan Advisory ) have T13 launching on the 14th:

SPACEX TRANSPORTER 13, VANDENBERG SFB, CA
PRIMARY:	03/14/25	0639Z-1031Z
BACKUP:		03/15/25	0639Z-1031Z

Edit: … nevermind. Now we’re launching on the 15th (same time).

A full list of what’s launching on T13 and their deployment times has shown up on SpaceX’s website here: - SpaceX - Launches

Note that there are 2 deployment blocks, with a burn in between. The second set is going into a higher orbit.
