[amsat-bb] CAMSAT CAS-4A and CAS-4B launched today

[Scott]

Is there any orbit info relative to other satellites yet?   Like what they 
are roughly near.  I know that's easier for ISS-deployed cubesats than 
launched objects.

Or better yet, even preliminary TLE's for either of these objects?

Thanks!

-Scott,  K4KDR

CAS-4A and CAS-4B Satellites from CAMSAT Launched today


Two CAMSAT’s armature radio payloads piggybacked on the optical remote 
sensing micro-satellites OVS-1A and OVS-1B have been launched at 11:00BJT on 
June 15, 2017 at The Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center of China, using CZ-4B 
launch vehicle. The primary of this launch is a hard X-ray modulation 
telescope satellite (HXMT).
