All,
Detailed doppler measurements show that AMSAT-OSCAR 91 (AO 91) is object 43017, 2017-073E.
There is a small frequency drift on the downlink of OSCAR 91. During ascending passes, i.e. early afternoon passes from south to north, with the satellite in full sunlight, the downlink shows a frequency drift of about -19 Hz per minute.

Nico,
I get the same identification using a different technique. While I haven't had time to characterize the AO-91 transmitter frequency dependence on temperature, in AO-85 is was about -62 Hz/degree C. Looking at the changing temperatures, that converts to about the same value in AO-91.
73s,
Alan WA4SCA

If all of you are OK with Object 43017 as AO-91, I will make the change Thursday. 11-30-2017.

Go for it. I just notified JSpOC to name catalog 43017 as AO-91.

I apologize to everyone, I didn't realize that the conversation included amsat-bb. It was not my intention to tell the whole world what I had done.
