RS-44 - NORAD Cat ID 44909

Per Nico Janssen, PA0PLO concerning RS-44:

"The new amateur payload DOSAAF 85 (RS-44) appears to work very well Doppler measurements confirm that it is indeed object 44909, 2019-096E The satellite identifies itself as "RS44" (i e Radio Sputnik 44) on its CW beacon on 435 6043 kHz The passband is about 63 kHz wide It may also have a downlink between 2400 and 2485 MHz The frequencies of RS44/DOSAAF 85 have not been IARU coordinated The satellite is in an elliptical orbit with a perigee of 1175 km, an apogee of 1511 km and an inclination of 82 5 degrees

The payload is apparently attached to the Breeze-KM upper stage of a Rokot launch vehicle that launched three Gonets satellites on December 26, 2019 It was originally expected to launch in 2015 It is based on the Yubileiniy platform "
