[amsat-bb] QIKCOM-1 pass predictions

[Alan]

According to Bob's page on it, the host spacecraft is called SIMPL.  It is
listed in the new launch Keps on CelesTrak.  I plugged those in and looked
at the pass prediction.

29.10.2017  ISS                08:32 08:38    06   09  297 - 034
 29.10.2017  SIMPL        08:32 08:38    06   09  300 - 036
 29.10.2017  SIMPL        10:10 10:15    05   05  328 - 036
 29.10.2017  ISS              10:11 10:16    05   05  335 - 043
 29.10.2017  ISS              11:47 11:54    07   11  330 - 079
 29.10.2017  SIMPL        11:47 11:54    07   11  332 - 081
 29.10.2017  ISS              13:23 13:32    09   57  314 - 125
 29.10.2017  SIMPL        13:23 13:32    09   61  315 - 126
 29.10.2017  SIMPL        15:00 15:07    07   10  282 - 177
 29.10.2017  ISS               15:01 15:07    06   10  277 - 179

So they are still close for now to use the ISS, but not much longer.

73s,
