[amsat-bb] AMSAT-OSCAR 91 identified

[Alan]

Nico,

I get the same identification using a different technique.  While I haven't
had time to characterize the AO-91 transmitter frequency dependence on
temperature, in AO-85 is was about -62 Hz/degree C.  Looking at the changing
temperatures, that converts to about the same value in AO-91.

73s,

<All,

<Detailed doppler measurements show that AMSAT-OSCAR 91 (AO 91)
<is object 43017, 2017-073E.
<
<There is a small frequency drift on the downlink of OSCAR 91. During
<ascending passes, i.e. early afternoon passes from south to north, with
<the satellite in full sunlight, the downlink shows a frequency drift of
<about -19 Hz per minute.
