[amsat-bb] Re: Object IDs

[Nico Janssen]

All,

Further doppler measurements show that TshepisoSat (aka ZACube 1) is
object 39417 (2013-066B) and AMSAT-OSCAR 73 (aka FUNCube 1) is object
39444 (2013-066AE). Therefore HiNCube must be object 39445 (2013-066AF).

It is not easy to get a good doppler curve with many Cubesats because of
the limited transmissions and because of the frequency drift of their
beacon transmitters.

These object IDs from the Dnepr launch seem to be correct, although some
still need to be confirmed (tbc):

39416 2013-066A  Aprizesat 7
39417 2013-066B  TshepisoSat
39418 2013-066C  Skysat 1
39419 2013-066D  Dubaisat 2
39421 2013-066F  Unisat 5
39422 2013-066G  STSat 3
39423 2013-066H  WNISat 1
39425 2013-066K  Aprizesat 8
39427 2013-066M  Triton 1
39428 2013-066N  Delfi-n3Xt
39429 2013-066P  Dove 3
39430 2013-066Q  GomX 1
39431 2013-066R  BRITE-PL
39432 2013-066S  HumSat D (tbc)
39436 2013-066W  Eagle 2 ($50Sat) (tbc)
39438 2013-066Y  Velox PII (tbc)
39439 2013-066Z  First-MOVE (tbc)
39440 2013-066AA CubeBug 2 (tbc)
39444 2013-066AE AMSAT-OSCAR 73
39445 2013-066AF HiNCube
39446 2013-066AG UWE 3 (tbc)
