Hi All,
The Joint Space Operations Center (JSpOC) will be adding lots of objects to the database in the coming days. Off course there is a challenge to add 104 spacecraft to the database in one go, and the whole swarm is still quite close together. We expect that Nayif-1 will be one of the last ones identified, as it is "only" a one Unit cubesat, and therefore has the lowest radar cross sectional area. So unless it separates from the rest quickly, it will be the smallest object of the lot.
The main payload and the two secondary indian satellites have large radar cross sections, so have been identified already I would expect the Planet satellites to appear first, as they can do ranging to aid the orbit determination.
So please keep using the pre-launch keps for now. We will update the BB when we believe that we have been detected. Off course, observations are most welcome. Precise TCA reports for instance will help in the determination of the timing of the orbit.
Remember: there is no TLE lottery until all tickets are in the bowl ;)
Thanks for all your participation so far, the Nayif-1 team appreciates it and is very impressed with our community!

I have used the prelaunch keps for both passes for Nayif-1 this morning over GG56tv and they worked remarkably well for doppler correction. I think they will be fine for the next few days.

We dont have an object number yet so please continue to use the prelaunch keps here - http://download.funcube.org.uk/nayif_tle.txt
they are damn near perfect we believe - please pass the word!
thanks

What are the correct TLE'S for NAYIF1 ?? I am showing Item 41953 17008F is that correct ?? Thanks KC7MG _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
