[keps] Five New CubeSats Have Been Added to This Week's KEPs

 
From: "[RADIOCOMM LIST]" <list.admin@aus-city.com>
Date: October 11th 2012

Five new CubeSats were deployed from ISS on 10-4-2012 and are now on orbit They have been added to this week's KEPs Those CubeSats are as follows: 1 WE-WISH 2 RAIKO - RAIKO is a non-amateur radio Ku-band beacon 3 TechEdSat 4 NanoRack/F1 5 FITSAT-1

Since these CubeSats were deployed basically at the same time, we do not know which is which satellite The objects listed on SpaceTrack are as follows: International Common Catalog

Designator Name * Number

1998-067CN (Object A) Cat # 38852 1998-067CP (Object B) Cat # 38853 1998-067CQ (Object C) Cat # 38854 1998-067CR (Object D) Cat # 38855 1998-067CS (Object E) Cat # 38856 * The Object A through E is not to be confused with the objects listed below I have listed them in the KEPs by their International Designator in an attempt to avoid confusion

Remember that the ELaNa Cubesats were launched 9-9-2012 and I have temporarily designated them as Objects C through J until we sort those satellites out They are as follows: 1 AENEAS - Cat # 38760 (Object C) 2 Object D - Cat # 38761 3 Object E - Cat # 38762 4 Object F - Cat # 38763 5 Object G - Cat # 38764 6 Object H - Cat # 38765 7 Object J - Cat # 38766

Yes, space around our planet is very busy right now I would gratefully accept any guidance as to which ELaNa launched object is which or which ISS launched CubeSat is which for that matter SpaceTrack has indicated which object is which in the ELaNa launch but that opinion may not be correct So help me out here and hazzard a guess If no information forthcoming, I will go back to the SpaceTrack object to Catalog number listing next week in an effort to avoid further confusion (too late)
