Solid copy of UKube-1 CW telemetry on 0328Z pass over Texas. Strong signal.

Is the linear transponder the same as FUN CUBE 1?

I also read that there is a new Dashboard for Fun Cube 2, but I did not see what the new data is.

Any way great on the new working bird.

What are the tle or the sat number

Tnx

Yes, it carries the boards flown on FUNcube-1 so similar 435/ transponder, just different frequencies.

Hi All,

We are still not 100% certain but we tend to agree with Nico - UKube-1 is probably either Object 2014-37F or 2014-37G

(I am using Object F quite happily!)

Hi Nick,

What are the tle or the sat number

The AMSAT keps sent this week included this message from Ray WA5QGD:

UKube-1 was successfully launched and deployed 7-8-2014 at 15:58 UTC from a Soyuz-2-1B/Fregat-M launch vehicle from Baikonur in Kazakhstan. The primary payload was Russia's Meteor-M2 weather satellite.

At this time, it is believed that UKcube-1 is one of the following objects which have been added to this weeks KEPs:

OBJECT C - 2014-37C - Cat#40071

OBJECT G - 2014-37G - Cat#40075

OBJECT H - 2014-37H - Cat#40076

OBJECT D is in this group, but SpaceTrack currently identifies OBJECT D - 2014-37D - Cat#40072 as SKYSAT-2 (a payload).

As always, this could change. More later.

Nico PA0DLO mentioned ... Doppler measurements suggest that UKube 1 is either object 40074, 2014-037F, or object 40075, 2014-037G. The separation between these objects is now only 1 s, so no more than 7.5 km.

OBJECT C 1 40071U 14037C 14191.82540802 -.00000222 00000-0 -21970-4 0 107 2 40071 098.4040 243.5240 0007266 248.4855 111.5565 14.79492373 302 OBJECT G 1 40075U 14037G 14191.82422499 -.00003687 00000-0 -47620-3 0 121 2 40075 098.4033 243.5283 0004132 270.1457 089.9292 14.80344779 307 OBJECT H 1 40076U 14037H 14191.82417973 -.00000362 00000-0 -39849-4 0 91 2 40076 098.3972 243.5179 0004261 273.8749 086.1949 14.80382331 304
