As promised, AO-91 (FOX-1B) is now NORAD CAT ID 43017. This should be the last change of object number. Thanks to all who have labored to finally come to this point. Also I have added EcAMSat (NORAD CAT ID 43019) to this week's AMSAT-NA TLE Distribution. EcAMSat was developed through a partnership between NASA's Ames Research Center and Standford University School of medicine and has only a data downlink on 437.095 MHz. See the following AMSAT News Service Bulletin ANS-330 link for more information. Thanks to N ...Continue Reading
