The AMSAT KEPs are early this week because I will be out of town on the normal Thursday distribution day. Next week we will be back to the Thursday evening schedule. The identification of the satellites launched 10-28-11 continues. Simply put, we don't have enough separation to make a positive identification. Nico Janssen, PA0DLO, has been analyzing various aspects of the satellite group (grouping, radar cross section, and order of launch from rocket body). He concludes that we need more time and separation to ...Continue Reading

One of these called DICE is not an amateur satellite. I will run this email each week until all have been identified. I earnestly solicit any help in identifying our newest satellites. Here is the identity list as I know it at this time: RAX2 - Thought to be OBJECT E (Cat # 37853) (Thanks to Scott Palo, Unniversity ...Continue Reading
