[amsat-bb] Re: Cornell CUSat Keps?

[Colin Hurst]

Nico,
Thanks to some good work by Tetsu JA0CAW, DANDE is currently a good fit to
Object C.
2013-055C               
1 39267U 13055C   13280.88171839  .00006188  00000-0  21045-3 0    45
2 39267  80.9931 307.0850 0796581 135.6654 231.1187 13.96656656  1151
Downlink is nominally 436748.7 MHz at my QTH.

Colin VK5HI.
PS: CUSAT remains a good fit with Object B.

Detailed doppler shift measurements show that CUSat is either object 39266
or object 39271. Object 39271 appears to be officially identified as the
second stage of the Falcon rocket. If that is true then object 39266,
2013-055B, is CUSat.

On October 6 around 19:30 UTC I measured a pass of CUSat and found that the
difference between CUSat and object 39266 was about 6 seconds, using the
elements set with epoch 13277.72822065.
Besides object 39271 no other objects were near CUSat.
