Could someone please give me a sanity check..
I am trying to copy CP5, one of the college Cubesats launched yesterday. Several times now I have heard towards the end of the pass a weak CW beacon.. I finally copied it today and it appears to be the beacon from KKS-1. However, if I use the keplerian elements published on Space-Track, I get a pass time that is at least a half hour ahead of what I am seeing.. can someone give me a sanity check here?
Thanks, and VY 73,
