Maybe all satellites who don't want to monitor their own telemetry or construct an earth station system to do so should be launched with a transmitter that feeds into the APRS system?
I know this becomes more complicated but the rewards might outweigh (no pun intended) the negatives. As Bob pointed out, a system is in place, maybe satellites that produce life telemetry could standardize and plug into the system that already exists?

Gentlemans,
all these about TLM-capturing are good & rights, and yes, it's a reality for the birds like PACSAT, ANDE etc. as they already have AX.25.
But, at my opinion, the Analogue-Birds is other story. They have a different category of users. They are interesting mainly for QSOs, firstly. So, it's definitely a "bore job" for this kind of peoples to capture the TLM, when at the same time they can do "exciting" QSOs through the Satellite.
What about when the operator is asleep or in work?
