 How about AO-85? I did not see it on my Android this morning when I updated Keps

It's not officially dead (as far as I can recall... I think they are never
called "dead" until they re-enter).  Also, it seems to turn on now and
again (it was on and being used about a week ago, according to SatNogs
observations and the amsat status page).  I've also caught at least one
pass where it was partially on (I caught what appeared to be a beacon, but
with no DUV telemetry - and it was weak and didn't sound right either),
about 2 weeks ago.

The problem seems to be battery life issues, btw.
