SamSat 218D (object 41466, 2016-026C), built at the Samara State University, transmits telemetry on 435.315 MHz, identifying as 'RS 48'.

All,
Dmitry, R4UAB, published further information on SamSat 218D and Aist 2D. It appears RS 48 is Aist 2D (object 41465, 2016-026B) instead of SamSat 218D. This is now confirmed by doppler measurements.
An overview of all downlinks:
Aist 2D ('Stork' 2D) / RS 48 * 435.315 MHz telemetry and digital data * 435.365 MHz telemetry and digital data * 8025 - 8393 MHz remote sensing digital data * 433 - 438 MHz P-band radar
SamSat 218D * 145.850 - 145.890 MHz transceiver TRXSSAU downlink
