Re the Iranian launch:
Celestrak reports the following keps:
2009-004A 1 33506U 09004A 09034.19387999 .00095226 13865-4 25133-3 0 80 2 33506 55.5083 313.4501 0099270 151.1927 209.4657 15.86589494 74 2009-004B 1 33507U 09004B 09034.19673867 .00095923 13300-4 31019-3 0 92 2 33507 55.5529 313.4400 0144903 154.1368 206.6998 15.75803087 65
Day 34 of 2009 is February 3rd and it's a 55 degree inclination so visible in the UK: I would check through 435-437 MHz for unusual signals at predicted AOS, you never know.

436.105MHz, *maybe*? I heard something pulsing away that seemed to stop round about LOS.

From another list:
The numbers from the ITU are: 464.98750 MHz and 465.01250 MHz at +7 dBW

Think that's it. Next time it comes round I'll be better prepared for recording it.

A YouTube video which shows the satellite, it's construction and launch can be seen here.

Obviously the satellite has no solar cells and may only operate from batteries..

Orbit 30 passed pretty much right overhead at my QTH at about 1710. The signal was strong enough to pick up inside with my HT's rubber duck, but no modulation. Wonder if that's it on the way out?
