This week I have added the following satellites to the AMSAT KEP Distribution List:

LITSAT-1 - Cat# 39568 LITUANICASAT-1 - Cat# 39569 (This satellite is listed under the name LITUANSAT )

Nico Janssen (PA0DLO) has written a very interesting comment on how Joint Space Operations Center (JSpOC) is handing the launch of multiple cubesats His comments are in the current AMSAT News Service Bulletin ANS-68 in the third article entitled "Satellite TLE Object ID's" Go to the following URL to read his insight into JSpOC's process of determining what object is what spacecraft It looks like JSpOC will depend more on radio amateur satellite operators to resolve the identity at least some of the cubesats

The AMSAT KEP Distribution will not change its current data format
