TLE's for PSAT2
by Robert Bruninga 26 Jun '19

26 Jun '19

Excellent match so far with these elements: PSAT2 1 44348U 19036K 19176.47956735 .00000352 00000-0 00000+0 0 9991 2 44348 28.5449 199.6259 0392489 107.1682 11.6450 14.96305882 23 Northern Hemisphere passes begin at about 9:35 PM LOCAL time Then again at around 11:15 PM and then about 01:00 AM local time ish.... What is amazing, is that it looks like it is about the SAME time every day for a pass even though the orbit is moving earlier After a few days, there will be a new orbit around 8 PM local time, and the others above will continue at the same time. And so forth. So it is moving earlier but appears to have this sun synchronous behavior... Bob

PSAT2 vs BRICSATt-2
by cchunter3＠mindspring.com 25 Jun '19

25 Jun '19

Bob, thanks for the updates on PSAT2. The info on your website also lists BICSAT-2. And you provide info on that Sat on previous posts, but is BRICSAT-2 a separate Satellite launched last night? does it have the same TLEs as PSAT2? I didnt see it listed in the IARU, or I missed it. 73 Christy KB6LTY

SatPC32 Phone Support
by Paul Stoetzer 25 Jun '19

25 Jun '19

Good afternoon, I have an individual who has approached me about working with him over the phone to help him set up SatPC32. Unfortunately, I do not use SatPC32 for antenna or radio control on a daily basis and am probably not the best person to help. If anyone is willing to help someone with SatPC32 via the phone, please let me know offline. Thanks! 73, Paul, N8HM

PSAT2 alive
by Robert Bruninga 25 Jun '19

25 Jun '19

FINDU.com has not added PSAT2-1 and USNAP1-1 to the PCSAT.FINDU.COM page so use these direct searches to find raw packets. PSAT2-1: http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/raw.cgi?call=psat2-1&time=1 USNAP1-1: http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/raw.cgi?call=usnap1-1&time=1 PSAT2-1 (Safe mode, no users) is alive and have seen dozens of packets. Voltage was low 6.51v at end of last USA east cost pass but it was in the dark and expected. We will leave it in SAFE mode for a day to watch charging. Remember you can also capture PSK31 telemetry every 2 minutes on 435.350 +/- Doppler Also listen for short 9600 packets from USNAP1 on 437.605 Bob, WB4APR > PSAT2 > *1 99999U 19176.29256686 .00000045 00000-0 73504-6 0 00000* > > *2 99999 028.5512 188.7783 0390971 106.7788 082.4136 14.96430410000015* > > >

Congrats to PSAT

Nice SpaceX launch, what a payload delivery, too bad the center core didn’t land. Is this PSAT satellite part of a PSAT family, I remember seeing PSAT satellite in orbit, is this a replacement? Joe KD2NFC
