[amsat-bb] PSAT (90720) status?

[Paul Stoetzer]

It's in AMSAT's nasabare.txt as NO-84. The NORAD ID is 40654 (the
9XXXX numbers are temporary placeholders).

NO-84
1 40654U 15025D   16098.21432098  .00009367  00000-0  21408-3 0 00832
2 40654 055.0059 011.4499 0210126 256.7411 101.0085 15.23792075013214

You will not find it on CelesTrak, Heavens Above, or several of the
other sites because it was a secondary payload on a classified
military launch (like AO-85).

73,

Paul, N8HM
