This week's VEGA launch KEPs are shown below. MASAT-1 has been designated MO-72 by AMSAT (see www.amsat.org). This week I have used the catalog number that is claimed by the satellite's home website (see www.amsat.org). Some websites do not indicate a catalog number. MO-72 (MASAT-1) and E-STAR claim the same catalog number (38079). The satellites are too close together to distinguish who is who and the same KEPs work for several VEGA cubesats. I await more input before I choose. The current KEPs are as follows: A ...Continue Reading
