Hello folks,
I am a little new at this so please have patience with ignorance. Jin and I
launched two CubeSats a week or so ago. The first is Trailblazer (mine) and
the second is DragonSat (Jins). Trailblazer is from the Configurable Space
Research at the University of New Mexico (KE5VSH) and DragonSat is Drexel
University. Our problem is that we havent heard from our satellites yet.
There could be a variety of different reasons. First, the satellite didnt
survive delivery. Second, our antennas didnt deploy or third, we have poor
ground stations. As you can imagine, I am hoping for the third. I can
pasting the TLE which is openly available on space-track and celestetrack in
this email. It is very close (I believe) to our birds. If you have a
chance, could you please keep your ears open in case you might hear us.
Please email any packets for Trailblazer to myself here
at craig.kief at cosmiac.org and for DragonSat to Jin Kang at kang at usna.edu.
Thanks again most sincerely,
Craig

same tx freq as mine there as well).
