Does anyone know the designator and/or keps for the recently launched CUSat? Maybe I should stick roughly with any of the keps for the recent SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket body? My friend worked on CUSat and I'd really like to catch a pass of it and show him it operating in orbit!
Thanks,
Bryce KB1LQC
Bryce,
I ran the Keps for all the objects. Space-Track shows something like 20, which is interesting. They are already widely dispersed, so given the low transmission rate, it might be better to wait a few days until at least some tentative identifications are made. I expect DK3WN is on the case. :)

Looks like the DANDE website officially uses 2013-055B too!

Detailed doppler shift measurements show that CUSat is either object 39266 or object 39271. Object 39271 appears to be officially identified as the second stage of the Falcon rocket. If that is true then object 39266, 2013-055B, is CUSat.
On October 6 around 19:30 UTC I measured a pass of CUSat and found that the difference between CUSat and object 39266 was about 6 seconds, using the elements set with epoch 13277.72822065. Besides object 39271 no other objects were near CUSat.

Nico, Thanks to some good work by Tetsu JA0CAW, DANDE is currently a good fit to Object C. 2013-055C 1 39267U 13055C 13280.88171839 .00006188 00000-0 21045-3 0 45 2 39267 80.9931 307.0850 0796581 135.6654 231.1187 13.96656656 1151 Downlink is nominally 436748.7 MHz at my QTH. 73 Colin VK5HI. PS: CUSAT remains a good fit with Object B.

Colin,
I can confirm that DANDE is object 39267, 2013-055C.
So now the following IDs for the objects of the Falcon 9 launch are certain: 39265, 2013-055A is Cassiope 39266, 2013-055B is CUSat 1&2 39267, 2013-055C is DANDE 39268, 2013-055D is POPACS (1,2 or 3) 39269, 2013-055E is POPACS (1,2 or 3) 39270, 2013-055F is POPACS (1,2 or 3) 39271, 2013-055G is Falcon 9 R/B.
