[amsat-bb] CAS-6 Missing From Keplerian Data?

Fri Dec 27 18:27:25 UTC 2019

Hasan,

We are suffering from the usual confusion<https://www.amsat.org/why-is-there-so-much-tle-confusion-when-new-cubesats-are-launched/> after a cubesat deployment.  Last week we had a candidate object for CAS-6 in the list, but since we have no confirmed reception and doppler analysis, we are not sure which object is CAS-6.   You can use FLORIPASAT elements since that spacecraft shared a ride to orbit, but the actual pass for CAS-6 will be several minutes early or late, we simply don't know at this time.

>From the Keps mailing list:

"CAS-6 was launched as a piggyback satellite on TIANQIN-1 on December 20,
2019 via a CZ-4B launch vehicle from Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center. Still
awaiting a satellite signal, thus the CAT ID has not been positively
identified as yet. More later.

Since the data was restored this morning, I no longer see CAS-6 in the list
and it has dropped out of my tracking program.

Is there now another name?

The good news is that a JK station reports TLM from CAS-6 at 1130z this
morning.
