The identification of the 64 satellites launched by SpaceX SSO-A mission on December 3, 2018 continues.

There are no major changes to the previous AMSAT-NA TLE Distribution ...Continue Reading

The identification of the 64 satellites launched by SpaceX SSO-A mission on December 3, 2018 continues.

In the past, two weeks after launch has been the time when distance between cubesats increases enough to identify most individual satellites. We will see. There are no major changes to the previous AMSAT-NA TLE Distribution (Monday, December 17, 2018) for the IDENTIFIED SSO-A lau ...Continue Reading
