[amsat-bb] ANTELSat identified

All,

Using detailed doppler measurements I find that ANTELSat is now object 40034, 2014-033AA. Yesterday the JSpOC decided to exchange the TLE set of object 40034 with the set of object 40049, 2014-033AR. So up to yesterday ANTELSat was object 40049 but as of today it is object 40034.

Doppler measurements show that DUCHIFAT is almost certainly object 40021, 2014-033M. But at this time the distance between objects 40021, 40022 and 40023 is too small to be absolutely sure. Especially the temperature induced frequency drift on the downlink signals makes it hard to do a good assessment of the measurements.
