Thanks to Nico Janssen, PA0DLO, PSAT (object 90720, ULTRASat 1, NORAD ID# 40652) and BRICSat (object 90729, ULTRASat 10, NORAD ID# 40661) have been identified. Also per Nico, the Planetary Society has indicated that LightSail is best matched to object 90271, ULTRASat-2, NORAD ID# 40653. See the excerpts from his email below. Again, thanks to Nico for his quick work.

Below are KEP TLE sets associated with the 5/20/2015 Altas V launch from Cape Canaveral of a primary payload and 10 cubesats. Since these objects remain close together, the KEP sets have not been associated with any specific object. We will have to wait until enough separation has occurred to identify each individual object.

On 5-20-2015 ten new cubesats were launched on a Atlas 5 from Cape Canaveral, Florida. The primary payload was the Air Force's X-37B space plane. Of these ten new cubesats four are of interest to radio amateurs. They are as follows: USS Langley Cat# 40652 Psat Cat# 40654 BRICSat-P Cat# 40655 LightSail-1 Cat# 40661 KEPs for USS Langley are not available at this time. (You might use the Psat KEPs for now.) Post launch KEPs (with temporary Cat#) for the following are available: PSAT 1 99993U 15140.67013889 ...Continue Reading
