[amsat-bb] Re: ELaNa III Cubesat Launch October 28

[Mark L. Hammond]

Hello Raydel,

The new satellites are pretty close together right now, so it's almost impossible to know for sure which Object has which real name.  It will take a while (week or two, maybe longer).

In the meantime, I am finding pretty good automated tracking and telemetry collection using OBJECT C for RAX-2.  It's a 9600 baud FM packet bird, so tuning isn't super critical.

Objects A, B, and H most certainly appear NOT to be the cubesats.  

So start looking at C, D, E, F, G --and then you'll see these all track pretty close together anyhow--so knowing right now which is which isn't that important.

73,

Mark N8MH
