Colin,

I can confirm that DANDE is object 39267, 2013-055C.

So now the following IDs for the objects of the Falcon 9 launch
are certain:
39265, 2013-055A is Cassiope
39266, 2013-055B is CUSat 1&2
39267, 2013-055C is DANDE
39268, 2013-055D is POPACS (1,2 or 3)
39269, 2013-055E is POPACS (1,2 or 3)
39270, 2013-055F is POPACS (1,2 or 3)
39271, 2013-055G is Falcon 9 R/B.

73,
Nico PA0DLO
