[amsat-bb] Re: FUNcube-1 Object Number

[Alan]

Rich,

You have been able to download it for weeks.  However, the wrong satellite was identified with it.
Using the SatPC32 AMSATNAMES.TXT you can identify a satellite with the official numbers, which I did a
few weeks back.  Put in the line

39444 13066AE  AO-73

in the file, or edit the existing one, and you will get the right AO-73 object.  Note that the current
NASA.ALL file has the old identification, and will probably be updated later this week.

73s,

Alan
