From: "[RADIOCOMM LIST]" <list.admin@aus-city.com>
Date: July 13th 2017

Nico Janssen, PA0DLO has identified the five more CubeSats in the 6-23-2017 QB50 launch by detailed doppler measurements as follows:

Aalto 1 is object 42775, 2017-036L URSA MAIOR is object 42776, 2017-036M (QB50) Pegasus is object 42784, 2017-036V (QB50) Robusta 1B is object 42792, 2017-036AD D-SAT is object 42794, 2017-036AF

UCLSat and skCUBE are objects 42789 and 42796 But the separation between these objects is so small that it is not yet possible to determine which satellite is which object NUDTSat is either object 42787 or object 42788 Again the separation between these objects is too small to be able to determine which one it is

On July 7, 2017 a constellation of five BIRDS-1 CubeSats was deployed from the International Space Station (ISS) as follows:

Object U, NORAD CAT ID 42820 Object V, NORAD CAT ID 42821 Object W, NORAD CAT ID 42822 Object X, NORAD CAT ID 42823 Object Y, NORAD CAT ID 42824

These objects have been added to this week's AMSAT-NA KEP Distrubution We will now wait for the objects to separate enough to be identified Thanks to Nico Janssen (PA0DLO), Naomi Kurahara (M5AKA), and AMSAT-UK website for this information
