Hi All,
We are still not 100% certain but we tend to agree with Nico - UKube-1 is probably either Object 2014-37F or 2014-37G
(I am using Object F quite happily!)

Hi Nick,
What are the tle or the sat number
The AMSAT keps sent this week included this message from Ray WA5QGD:
UKube-1 was successfully launched and deployed 7-8-2014 at 15:58 UTC from a Soyuz-2-1B/Fregat-M launch vehicle from Baikonur in Kazakhstan. The primary payload was Russia's Meteor-M2 weather satellite.
At this time, it is believed that UKcube-1 is one of the following objects which have been added to this weeks KEPs:
OBJECT C - 2014-37C - Cat#40071
OBJECT G - 2014-37G - Cat#40075
OBJECT H - 2014-37H - Cat#40076
OBJECT D is in this group, but SpaceTrack currently identifies OBJECT D - 2014-37D - Cat#40072 as SKYSAT-2 (a payload).
As always, this could change. More later.
Nico PA0DLO mentioned ... Doppler measurements suggest that UKube 1 is either object 40074, 2014-037F, or object 40075, 2014-037G. The separation between these objects is now only 1 s, so no more than 7.5 km.
