Due to Thanksgiving being on Thursday, the AMSAT-NA TLE Distribution for this week will be today, November 21, 2017. Next week we will continue with the normal TLE distribution on each Thursday of the week. Note that, per comments below, AO-91 is most likely object 43016. It appears that AO-91 is in the group of cubesats launched on 11-18-17 that include objects 43016, 43017, and 43018. The object 43015 that we were using for AO-91 has separated enough to be confirmed as Buccaneer RRM by 18th Space Control Squad ...Continue Reading

Yeah! RadFxSat (AO-91) is finally in orbit and working! Congrats to Fox-1B team! Well done. Note: RadFxSat (Fox-1B) has been designated AO-91 per Bill Tynan, W3XO, AMSAT-NA OSCAR Number Administrator. Be aware that AO-91 (NORAD CAT ID 43015) has NOT been released for general use. Do NOT transmit to AO-91 until on-orbit tests are complete. If you hear the transponder on, do NOT assume that AO-91 is open for general use. Check the AMSAT website, Facebook, or Twitter before transmitting. All references to RadFxSa ...Continue Reading
