Transporter-17 Rideshare: VSFB SLC-4E : 2026-07-07 07:10 UTC

Hi from the Apolink team!

When y’all get the chance, would it be possible to get new contacts for this TLE?

1 88205U          26195.72547176 +.00000649 +00000+0 +71784-4 0 00186
2 88205  97.7526  96.0462 0005177  86.5628 273.6183 14.90703627001104

Still nothing yet, hoping to see us soon.

Thanks,
-The Apolink team

The Transporter-17 mission just keeps on giving!

The Team behind the ET-001 constellation (ET-001 A, B, C, & D) shared RX details in time for the capture of 62k5 LoRa downlinks from -2- of them tonight on 465.500 MHz.

… the preliminary TLE in-use is:

ET-001x
1 88259U          26195.98672982 +.00008067 +00000+0 +79719-3 0 00173
2 88259  97.7523  96.3192 0009776 120.4374 239.7812 14.92147550001143

… and the KSY file for them is:

et01_v00a.ksy.txt (2.2 KB)

I posted additional pictures on twitter/x @ https://x.com/scott23192/status/2077620198937407691

UPDATE: on my westerly pass tonight, I also heard from ET-001C

Hi Brano,

Congratulations, you are the first one for the UHF digipeater!

And thanks for pointing me to this wrong message.
I’ve corrected it on the digipeater dashboard. It now shows your callsign.

As for the UHF digipeater, I’ve tried it many times along with the one from KOSTKA without success.
It seems to be the same for me like with GRBBeta. VHF is very sensitive, but UHF is hard to come by with my capabilities.
Anyway, I’m looking forward to get a contact with you via both digis some day.

Same here… my uplinks decode perfectly w/ an in-house receiver SDR, but no luck w/ 9k6 LEO sats. I’ve made all kinds of audio & RF adjustments but nothing has helped so far.

From analysis from teams and @PE0SAT we have these updates:

KOSTKA 88269
Marina 88229
IPoS-TDsM 88205

And here are the TLE based on analyst list of space-track.org changed to use temporary NORAD IDs:

For MARINA we use still 88254, resulting TLE:

Thanks Daniel, I tried today KOSTKA digipeater with the same setup, pass, strategy and “technically” success arrived (1 message repeated), but it was not so easy like with MARINA. Also I didn’t receive the repeated message, but (some) other station. However, the digipeater itself could be considered as “verified”. Perhaps it’s time to create KOSTKA’s section in Digipeater dashboard.

Thanks for testing, and again congratulations, Brano!

Looking at your antenna array, I guess I’ll never make it with my simple setup ):

I’m still waiting for an update of KOSTKA’s decoder from @ok2fis .
Currently it decodes only the telemetry beacons (with last digipeater user and last digipeater count).
Once the new version is online, I’ll add KOSTKA to the digipeater dashboard.

Sorry for the delay. I will hopefully push the update during the weekend.
