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

Hi Eric,

Thanks for the details.

Do you also know when the digipeater will be switched on and what to do to get a QSL card?

@fredy Yes, I understand. However, I noticed that the TLE of the ERMIS-2 satellite has been assigned to both ERMIS-2 and VEGAFLY-1. Could you please assign a more appropriate TLE that is closest to our satellite for VEGAFLY-1 on SatNOGS?
Thank you very much for your support.

Unfortunately due to other tasks I didn’t have the chance to take a deeper look, any suggestion from your analysis? Which one we should follow?

Probably I’ll be able to continue my analysis tomorrow.

Hi @N6RFM , @dl7ndr , and everyone in the community,

The EPS telemetry decoder for PARUS-6U1 is now available.

We have released a GNU Radio Out-Of-Tree (OOT) module specifically for decoding our EPS data. You can access the repository here: https://github.com/ntut-rf/PARUS_6U1.git

Additionally, we are providing eQSL cards. If you have successfully received our signals, please send your reception reports to t114369009@ntut.org.tw, and we will send you an eQSL card.

Thank you for tracking PARUS-6U1 and sharing your data.

Thanks Eric!!

So a SoundModem (gaspacs 4800) will not work properly for Parus 6U1?

can you share the satyml file for gr_satellites ?

i used this but not work:

name: PARUS-6U1
norad: 68456
data:
  &endurosat Endurosat Telemetry:
     unknown
transmitters:
  9k6 FSK Endurosat downlink:
    frequency: 437.195e+6
    modulation: FSK
    baudrate: 9600
    deviation: 2600
    framing: Endurosat
    data:
    - *endurosat

or this:

name: PARUS-6U1
norad: 68456
data:
  &tlm Telemetry:
    telemetry: ax25
transmitters:
  9k6 FSK downlink:
    frequency: 437.195e+6

This is super cool !!

It REALLY encourages operators to pay more attention to their satellite :grin:

Thanks for the eQSL card !!

Is it possible to use an audio file or an audio stream, playing via mediaplayer?

I got few packets from Parus-6U1 from my ground station (soniks) but I doubt that they were processed correctly. Every packet has a sequence “84 9C 60 A8 92 A8” but the rest seems to be scrambled as it was mentioned in the earlier posts. So I doubt that this data will be accepted for eQSL

yes of course..

just run this command:
gr_satellites PARUS-6U1.yml --wavfile your_audio_file.wav --hexdump --kiss_out parus.kiss

if you get the .kiss file, the next step is just follow the above step after..

Hi @fredy,
Could you please help verify and update TLE for VEGAFLY-1 in the SatNOGS database?
Link: Find Vegafly-1 — Live Satellite Tracking

TLE:

1 68434U 26067U   26123.97251461  .00004781  00000-0  23634-3 0  9996

Thank you very much for your support!

I’ve changed for Vegafly-1 to follow 68434, I’ll schedule later some observations and will check the results for verification.

Unfortunately I still haven’t finished my analysis on the T16 launch objects as other tasks get in the middle, I’ll try to take a look this week but I don’t promise anything. Until then if there is any other suggestion we could try let me know here.

Hi @fredy,

We believe we have identified EMISAR as Object M (68427, 2026-067M). I’m not sure if there’s something needed on your side too, as we have contacted Space-Track Office to claim the object as EMISAR.

Thank you!
