AMSAT alerted the US Space Force 18th Space Defense Squadron of a glitch in their systems that prevented updates of publicly available element sets for BeliefSat-0 after January 4th. USSF 18 SDS thanked AMSAT for the notice and restored public updates on January 30th.
BeliefSat-0's Principal Investigator Professor Shinde of K J Somaiya Institute of Technology thanked AMSAT for arranging the fix and requested reception reports. Hams in equatorial regions are encouraged to submit reports to the AMSAT status page and/or schedule observations in SatNogs. The spacecraft is in an equatorial orbit and rises above the horizon for ground stations located between approximately 20 degrees south and 20 degrees north latitude. BeliefSat-0 is expected to remain in orbit and operational until early April 2024.
Details of the BeliefSat-0 payload can be found on the BeliefSat-0 GitHub . It is a hosted payload on the POEM-3 spacecraft, a repurposed upper stage of an Indian Space Research Organization rocket.
