Changed in DB to follow these new Objects as described bellow:
HADES-ICM β 63492
HYDRA-W β 63490
HERMES H6 β 63489
While the fits are good for all of them they may not be the right ones, so we can not move to identification, we need to keep checking the next days to fully confirm them.
Especially for HADES-ICM and HYDRA-W, according to the booklet for their mission https://www.dorbit.space/media/6/0.pdf it looks like that there were 3 more pocketqubes (UNICORN-2O, 2P & 2Q) which we donβt know when and if they have been deployed, so one or all of them may be one of the 4 new objects published by space-track.org.
So, letβs keep trackingβ¦
PS @ea4gqs if you have any info you can share for the UNICORN satellites deployment that will help on the identification, please let us know.

We confirm the deployment of HERMES H5, which has been received and decoded by at least one SATNOGS observation (#11378056). Thank you very much!
The deployment of the next HERMES satellite, HERMES H4, is foreseen for tomorrow April 10, at 05:52:00 UTC (yes, a short while from now!)
Preliminary post-deployment TLEs that were provided to us are:
HERMES H4

HERMES H5 and HERMES H4 have both been received and demodulated by several SATNOGS observation and also by our ground station.
Once again we are grateful for your support!
The deployment of the last HERMES satellite, HERMES H3, is foreseen for tomorrow. As soon as we will get a precise deployment time and TLE we will update you.
Thanks

@rcampana was the deployment successful? I see some observations like this SatNOGS Network - Observation 11386587 that have signals but not sure if belong to HERMES H3 or maybe it is close to H4 and we see its data.
Hi Fredy,
yes we confirm the deployment of HERMES H3 and we have received and decoded several beacons both on SATNOGS observations and on our ground station.
H3, H4 and H5 are very close together so there is a certain overlap of beacons in a given passage.

With all the HERMES sats on the same freq & still close together, Bob (N6RFM) had a great idea - configure GNU Radio / gr-satellites to upload to the proper SatNogs ID based on the 1st two bytes of each frame!

Hi all,
Thanks again for all of your support in tracking Buccaneer after launch! In preparation for payload operations we will be disabling UHF beacon transmissions, so going forward Buccaneer signals will only be observable when in communication with our ground station in Adelaide, South Australia.
Thanks again!

Hi everyone,
I wanted to provide a brief update on the status of the Hermes mission. As of today, we are regularly receiving beacons from satellites H3, H5, and H6, with occasional signals from H2 and H4. We are currently able to communicate with H3 in uplink through our Ground Station. To improve our coverage, weβve developed a SatNOGS audio decoding pipeline, which has been extremely helpful in gathering telemetry data from around the world.
As you may understand, your support has been essential for us in this phase and we will be really glad if the community could continue to support the Hermes mission with observations, which will help us to carry out a successful commissioning of the satellites.
Thank you in advance for your help!

A status update, most of the TEVEL2 sats are now identified. Also no it looks like that the objects for HYDRA-W and HADES-ICM work fine for the last 10 days, so itβs almost impossible to belong to the other deployment of UNICORN satellites expected from ION deployer. Additionally UNICORN-2Q, which was on the same pod with them, has been identified as the third object between those two in space-track.org. And also we donβt have any evidence that the satellites from the other pod, the other UNICORN satellites, have been deployed.
Finally we still expect several OBJECTS, at least four for the deployed HERMES H3-6.
