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.
