With this information,
I thought, lets update the TLE data for AO-27. But when I queried the space-track database I got another name for norad-id 22825 ?
0 KITSAT B 1 22825U 93061C 13304.75582515 .00000229 00000-0 10682-3 0 5154 2 22825 098.6342 247.4246 0007462 243.1674 177.4743 14.29604597 48145
Strange, in amateur.txt via Celestrak it says
EYESAT-1 (AO-27 1 22825U 93061C 13304.75582515 .00000229 00000-0 10682-3 0 5154 2 22825 98.6342 247.4246 0007462 243.1674 177.4743 14.29604597 48145
Seems a glitch in the space-track database ????

We could definitely use another FM bird, so let's hope they are able to get it going again. Maybe I'm a good luck charm - I just sent a QSL card to N5TRR for my last QSO on AO-27, just minutes before it failed last year, stating "Last operational orbit of AO-27" in the comment field. I'd be happy to be wrong about that!
