CAS-6 Missing From Keplerian Data?
Since the data was restored this morning, I no longer see CAS-6 in the list and it has dropped out of my tracking program.
Is there now another name?
The good news is that a JK station reports TLM from CAS-6 at 1130z this morning.

Hasan,
We are suffering from the usual confusionhttps://www.amsat.org/why-is-there-so-much-tle-confusion-when-new-cubesats-are-launched/ after a cubesat deployment. Last week we had a candidate object for CAS-6 in the list, but since we have no confirmed reception and doppler analysis, we are not sure which object is CAS-6. You can use FLORIPASAT elements since that spacecraft shared a ride to orbit, but the actual pass for CAS-6 will be several minutes early or late, we simply don't know at this time.

From the Keps mailing list:
"CAS-6 was launched as a piggyback satellite on TIANQIN-1 on December 20, 2019 via a CZ-4B launch vehicle from Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center. Still awaiting a satellite signal, thus the CAT ID has not been positively identified as yet. More later.
