Nico Janssen, PA0DLO, noted that 18th Space Control Squadron (18SPCS) has swapped the satellite names associated with object 41845 (was CAS-2T) and another object 41847. Therefore CAS-2T is now object 41847. Nico's detailed doppler measurements confirm that CAS-2T is in fact object 41847. (Note: the payloads CAS-2T and KS-1Q still remain attached to the CZ 11 fourth stage.) Thanks Nico, good catch! The PICSAT team and Albert Van Duersen indicate that a better set of TLEs for PICSAT is now object 43132. Nico Jans ...Continue Reading

The following satellites have been added to the AMSAT TLE Distribution this week: FMN 1 (FengMaNiu 1) - NORAD CAT ID 43192. Shaonian Xing (MXSAT-1) - NORAD CAT ID 43199. FMN 1 is still being commissioned. It currently is transmitting telemetery only , but it is hoped that it will activate a FM repeater soon. It is also believed to have a multi-camera and SSTV subsystems as well. We will see. Shaonian Xing (the official name of MXSAT-1) is a student satellite and it is also still being commissioned. It may have a ...Continue Reading
