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 I ...Continue Reading
