The separation between UKube 1 and AISSat 2 has increased to about 60 km. UKcube-1 is OBJECT F - 2014-37F - Cat#40074. OBJECT F in the KEPs has been renamed UKUBE-1. Thanks to Nico Janssen, PA0DLO for the above final identification. Nico says, "JSpOC's initial guess appears to be correct." OBJECT G - 2014-37G - Cat#40075 has been removed form this weeks KEP distribution. _______________________________________________ Via the Keps mailing list courtesy of AMSAT-NA http://amsat.org/mailman/listinfo/keps ...Continue Reading
