With some of the details for the orbit, Cees Bassa has calculated a TLE set for the ELaNa 20 cubesats (including FOX-1E).
Disclaimer: This TLE set may not be fully accurate but it is the best we have until any satellite team or virgin orbit publish something better.
1 79001U 21017.82222222 .00000000 00000-0 50000-4 0 02 2 79001 61.0000 134.0000 0000727 0.0000 160.0000 15.20776870 00

Hi,
Just wondering if any of the team from FOX-1E would be able to share any preliminary TLEs for the upcoming launch, if they have any? This will help us schedule up observations on the SatNOGS network (and of course help other listeners too!).
Even if the launch is bumped by a few hours these TLEs will still be useful, we can just bump them in time if necessary (using the process here: https://gist.github.com/darksidelemm/60dd22c74ebe2e6d89bae9e6a845da5e#but-wa... https://gist.github.com/darksidelemm/60dd22c74ebe2e6d89bae9e6a845da5e#but-wait-the-launch-has-been-delayed)
Post-deployment TLEs or state vectors (once they are available) would also be very useful!
