[amsat-bb] UKube-1

[JoAnne Maenpaa]

Hi Nick,

> What are the tle or the sat number

The AMSAT keps sent this week included this message from Ray WA5QGD:

UKube-1 was successfully launched and deployed 7-8-2014 at 15:58 UTC
from a 
Soyuz-2-1B/Fregat-M launch vehicle from Baikonur in Kazakhstan. The
primary 
payload was Russia's Meteor-M2 weather satellite.

At this time, it is believed that UKcube-1 is one of the following
objects 
which have been added to this weeks KEPs:

OBJECT C - 2014-37C - Cat#40071

OBJECT G - 2014-37G - Cat#40075

OBJECT H - 2014-37H - Cat#40076

OBJECT D is in this group, but SpaceTrack currently identifies OBJECT
D - 
2014-37D - Cat#40072 as SKYSAT-2 (a payload).

As always, this could change. More later.

Nico PA0DLO mentioned ...
Doppler measurements suggest that UKube 1 is either object 40074,
2014-037F, or object 40075, 2014-037G. The separation between these
objects is now only 1 s, so no more than 7.5 km.
