Transporter-16 Rideshare: VSFB SLC-4E : 2026-03-30 11:02 UTC

I’ve changed the DB entry to follow 68427 for EMISAR. I’ll scheduled later some observations for EMISAR too to try to verify it.

In order to identify it, we prefer having some public evidence that shows the identification, for example check the links in the identified satellites in this post, with ikhnos tool we show that only the identified object fits the satellite’s signals we observe, anything similar is a good evidence to use.

Hi @fredy,
Thank you for helping with PARUS-6U1 observations. Our team is currently investigating the satellite’s on-orbit status, and we would really appreciate it if more SatNOGS observations could be scheduled for PARUS-6U1 from different stations and passes.

Additional telemetry would help us check the EPS/ADCS status, beacon stability, and overall satellite health. This would be very valuable for our troubleshooting and mission recovery work.

Thank you very much for your support.

Best regards,
Eric

Re: Transporter-16 – our cubesat AEPEX (98864) deployed from ExoTrail’s Spacevan-002 (98358) a couple hours ago. We should be beaconing UHF @ 437.325 by now. Can someone set AEPEX as active in DB and use these preliminary TLE’s until we get some post-deploy TLEs?
