The initial keps have been loaded into the APRS pass predictor.
For APRS users, to get a pass prediction for your QTH, make sure you've beaconed your position recently then send a message to one of the following "stations" and you should receive information on the next (or current) pass:
SAT99999 or DICEY SAT99998 or DICEF SAT99997 or RAX2 SAT99996 (Mixed case sat names are not yet supported) SAT99995 or E1PU2 SAT99994 (Mixed case sat names are not yet supported)
For more information on the satellite pass auto-responder, please see http://aprsisce.wikidot.com/doc:satsrv

PS. Yes, you can also send an APRS message to ISS or AO51 to receive pass predictions for those satellites as well.

All, the satellites below are on schedule for launch tomorrow morning. Launch will be viewable here: http://gs.engin.umich.edu/predictions/tle_elana3.txt
The initial keps are here. http://gs.engin.umich.edu/predictions/tle_elana3.txt. RAX-2, MCubed, E1P, and AubieSat are all trackable by most OSCAR stations. I am sure all the student teams would love to hear if HAMs world wide are picking up signals.
