Transporter-18 Rideshare: VSFB SLC-4E : 2026-10-01 18:32 UTC

So it seems that the initial TLE where way of, loading my STRF again but this time further in time gave me the following:

SPRITE

Thanks for the update, Jan.

However, after loading your SPRITE TLE, it seems to be in-line with the other preliminary TLEs.

Am I missing something?

Good evening Scott,

I used the TLE shared by @fredy and there seems to be a +/- 45 minute difference between the TLE and the moment SPRITE passed.

Hi all,
This is Alex from CU Boulder/LASP. We confirm good telemetry from SPRITE. This observation captured the very first transmission from SPRITE after the radio turned on! The S/C is healthy, all systems look good.

Strange… I’m using the TLEs from Post #51 and you saw how the updated SPRITE TLE fell into place w/ the others.

Well, we’ll get concrete numbers for more and more of the objects as time goes by. Thanks!!

My initial set was not the last one shared by @fredy and the reason for the big time difference, so mystery solved.

With a quick look we have alive and received:

  • SPRITE
  • CRIMSON-1
  • REASON-1 (unknown modulation)
  • OTTER,
  • HERMES (maybe)
  • BRO-23
  • BRO-32
  • Baby bird (doesn’t seem to be the expected 9k6 but probably 4k8)

any news about this deployment?? cancel ? still hold on space and waiting?

I have no idea if those objects deploy all at once or at different times, but FYI, someone involved w/ the UTNH satellite said that they would be released 7 days after launch.

thank you . i’m not notice that libre space foundation is back to space again after reread again this post carefully.. milestone for LSF. wow

Has anyone received or identified any signals from the UARX OSSIE-D OTV following the Transporter-18 launch?
We are particularly interested in any observations, waterfall recordings, candidate frequencies, or telemetry that could help confirm OSSIE-D activity in orbit.
If you have any SatNOGS observations or even unidentified signals that might correspond to OSSIE-D, please share the observation ID or details here.
Thanks for any help.

The three ERMINAZ-2 PocketQubes are inside the LSF Picobus deployer on the OSSIE-D space tug. There is no officicial information yet when to expect deployment. First of all the OSSIE spacecraft needs to be fully comissioned. There are rumors that it can take several days up to a few weeks.

new vocab, space tug, on other article amsat-dl mention this as taxi.. and libre space foundation call it bus.

red square = LSF pico bus.

@LW2DTZ so, the other taxi , are diysatellite taxi?


btw, i think the size of these ossie-d space tug is seen like a micro satellite. complete with all transponder, and maybe camera itself to send the picture to gs when the picosat is deployed
