PVCC appears to be Object K, giving me by far the best results.

Which pipeline in SatDump gives you that âBPSK Demodulatorâ? I donât see that listed.
And is this signal the S-Band or X-Band downlink?
Thanks!
The pipeline for PVCC was added yesterday, so you need to download the latest version to get it. Itâs in proba.json, called âpvcc_s_dumpâ. Thatâs the S-Band signal.

There are several changes and identifications since the last status update. For PVCC and N3SS we have some identifications but no clear evidence, if someone has any please provide them to fully identify them.

Yes, 2221Mhz. Usually PROBA satellites are on 2235MHz, but PVCC seems to be different for whatever reason.
PVCC was received and demodulated aswell, S-Band and X-Band are both active now.

We still missing:
- Evidence for N3SS(NESS) being object 58020
- Evidence that MACSAT is the unknown satellite that transmits at 401.050 MHz
- Demodulated/Decoded data from ANSER FOLLOWERs that shows which one is 58018 and which 58019.
If anyone has contact with these teams or any evidence, please help to complete identifications of this launch.
