[amsat-bb] AO-91 Keps

[Paul Stoetzer]

Checking the Space-Track catalog this afternoon, it appears that
2017-073D, NORAD ID 43016, is the object ID for all three of the 1U
CubeSats on the launch (EagleSat-1 and MakerSat-0 being the other
two).

Once JPSoC is able to track the three CubeSats individually, two
additional objects will be added to the catalog and then we'll be able
to make the determination of which of the three is AO-91.

73,

Paul, N8HM
