It has been a busy week

As noted last week, Arianespace launched of 53 new satellites on September 3, 2020 This also placed three new satellites carrying amateur radio transmitters into orbit They are Amicalsat, TTU-100 and UPMSAT 2 So far, only UPMSAT 2 has been identified as Object 46276 (See below)

Based on observations this past week, Nico Janseen has refined his identification of UPMSat 2 to be Object 46276 (Not Object 46277 as it seemed last week ) Also, OBJECT D (Cat ID 46275) and OBJECT F (Cat ID 46277) have been added this week, in hope that they may be Amicalsat and TTU-100 More later

Therefore, the following satellites have been and added to this week's AMSAT-NA TLE Distribution:

OBJECT D - Cat ID 46275 UPMSat 2 - Cat ID 46276 OBJECT F - Cat ID 46277 Thanks to Nico Janssen, PA0DLO, for verfying Cat ID 46276 is in fact UPMSat 2

The following satellite has decayed from orbit and has been removed from this week's AMSAT-NA TLE Distribution:

Tanusha-3 - NORAD Cat ID 43597 (Decayed on August 5, 2020 per Space-Track)
