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

TLE update for KOYO satellite, is not fully accurate as it is difficult to find the center of the wide signals, but it is definitely better than the current we use:

Status for the the IARU non-coordinated satellites (except the german ones):

Satellite Reception
KOYO received
SCION-X received
SUCHAI-4 not-received

SCION-X signals are very faint. Also the current TLE used is good for now.

SUCHAI-4 hasn’t been received, we are going to use the current TLE for now, may be we are going to change it using as reference TLE from another satellite in a couple of days. Note here that the transmitter is unconfirmed, so the satellite may not transmit at this frequency or frequency band.

One more update for Marina TLE

MARINA
1 98293U          26189.35741442  .00000000  00000-0  32990-3 0    06

# 20260708.35-20260708.36, 19 measurements, 0.497 kHz rms

After checking with ikhnos tool, unfortunately this is not very accurate. So, here is my attempt that seems to fit the recent Network observations:

MARINA
1 98293U          26189.42381585  .00000000  00000-0  29864-3 0    08

We have an updated TLE from the Satellite Team for RAFS satellite:

RAFS
1 98268U          26188.34207133  .00873878  00000-0  89030-1 0 00006
2 98268 097.7389 088.7722 0007032 114.2946 247.2158 14.90755938000012

Best of luck for the mission. Can’t wait to receive the HF signals.

We have Radio JOVE antenna array at the campus that hopefully can receive the beacon/downlink. It’s a very interesting mission :slightly_smiling_face:

For now the TLE for the IARU non-coordinated german satellites look good, so we keep them as they are. As the Unknown 1 T17 satellite is probably one of them, I’ll keep present it here too and I’ll note that also the TLE set used is pretty accurate.

Satellite Reception
Unknown 1 T17 received
TOM-[1-3] received
CUBY-[1-5] received
CLOUDCT-PRECURSOR received

It is not clear as we don’t have clear decodings, but it seems that we have received if not all at least some of them.

What we have managed to decode, it is CloudCT-Precursor with callsign DP2CTP and we have in its observations 3 other satellites DP2TOA, DP2TOB and DP2TOC. These belong respectively to TOM-1, TOM-2 and TOM-3 according to Rufzeichen (thanks @dl7ndr for linking it previously).

So, with the above, it looks like that all the TOM satellites transmit at least at 435.600 MHz with the same modulation with CloudCT-Precursor and they are the wide ones.

Thus we remain with the narrow long transmissions which expected to be one or more CUBY satellites. As we haven’t decode these narrow signals we are not say for sure more.

Another note is that these narrow signals seem to be transmitted around 435.595 MHz instead 435.600 MHz, so I’m going for now to change this in DB. Another change is the modulation and baudrate of TOM satellites.

cc @db2os that’s probably is interested in this analysis

EDIT:
PS There isn’t any signal received at the other expected frequency at 437.800 MHz

Okay thanks I’m not to familiar with satellite commissioning so thanks for telling me

Thanks Jan.

Good signals here as well.

Discussing with @PE0SAT in the satnogs chat, I’ve realized the narrow signal is the default music transmission from endurosat comms. Thus probably don’t belong to CUBY satellites, a similar one at 435.5470 MHz for the ā€œUnknown 1 T17ā€.

So, probably we are looking for the 5 CUBY sats and to find out which one are the satellites with endurosat transmissions at 435.595 MHz and 435.5470 MHz.

Examining https://network.satnogs.org/observations/14461227/

There are more signals present then what we thought, and I also see multiple AX.25 ID’s

We can confirm that KOSTKA is communicating in both directions. We have just successfully executed our first commands.

Hey guys, does anyone have spare bandwidth to generate a Doppler-fitted TLE for Replicator-2 ? We’d love to refine our tracking.

I’m on it in the next hour.

It seems also there is a drift in the transmitted frequency, something between 0 and 4k8, thus I’m going to add a drift at 2k4.

Great work by everybody working on decode parameters, TLEs, and everything else around this deployment.

I certainly don’t mind copy/pasting as improvements are made to individual TLEs when we have these mass deployments… but out of curiosity, is there a list anywhere that’s updated & could be re-downloaded once or twice per day? If not, no problem - just wanted to ask.

Thanks!

You can always get the latest TLE directly from DB at https://db.satnogs.org/api/tle/?format=3le

If you need specific satellites you can filter with the sat_id parameter using comma separator of the satellite IDs (comma ā€œ,ā€ becomes %2C in the request), for example for T17 launch satellites:
