Looks like a few decodes in SatNogs.
Browsing the network with this query there is nothing I can find.
So it seems this is a SIDS telemetry forward.

Yes, I did the ‘data export’ download thing.
This is the telemetry from UNISAT-7 (II0US), 25 kHz below SOLARAS.

Great catch!
My passes of those objects will continue to be terribly low for several days. But, I’ll keep checking!
And I will keep looking at my STRF recordings.

SOLARAS has achieved its mission objectives! Telemetry confirmed (…).
Are you sure we are talking about SOLARAS S2 or SOLARAS S4?
If so, what about the then proposed U/V FM transponder?
This is a Grahaa Space satellite!
The first mentioned application is:
Military & Defense
Enable secure and reliable intelligence gathering for military and defense operations. Our satellite solutions provide critical data for strategic decision-making.
I vetted the observation as “no”, as it was from another satellite (Unisat-7 in the decoded frames).

The pre-launch info that I saw online indicated “SOLARAS S3”, but since launch it’s been referred to as only “SOLARAS” by those involved.

Thanks Jan for posting here. I did check with the project team and they have seen some signals on 436.450. As per their IARU filing FSK 9600. I am at hoe this weekend and will try to listem using the TLE. If the team can recommend any latest TLE it will help.
