Can anyone point to a source for Tx frequencies and up-to-date trajectory data for Beresheet (the moon lander built by SpaceIL and Israel Aerospace Industries) which was launched 21 Feb?

Hey Martin!
There was word floating around pre-launch to look for Beresheet at 2.280 GHz and there does appear to be a good signal there as reported by EU stations.

At only 20° elevation this morning to my location I'm already seeing a decent signal with painfully slow doppler (as you would expect), but it'll take time to verify whether that's it or not.
In https://www.celestrak.com/NORAD/elements/tle-new.txt , objects 44048, 44049, & 44050 popped up right after deployment last night, so it's likely one of those.
