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.
