NASA's ELaNa-43 mission's launch provider Firefly Aerospace has just announced that it has successfully deployed eight satellites. They will pass overhead around 9AM and 9PM local time daily. It might be a day or two before we have accurate Two Line Elements available for your tracking programs, monitor here as we will pass along information as we get it.

We expect to hear the following spacecraft operating in the Amateur Satellite Service:

MESAT-1 30 kHz wide V/U Transponder plus a 1k2 BPSK telemetry downlink. Telemetry downlink 435.800 MHz with transponder downlink 435.810-435.840 MHz, and transponder uplink 145.910-145.940 MHz Use AMSAT's FoxTelem software to collect telemetry.

Serenity 4k8 FM with AX25 downlink on 437.100 MHz

CatSat UHF downlink using 9k6 or 38k4 GMSK but will also relay WSPR and FT8 signals from HF. Downlinks on 437.185 MHz and 10470.00 MHz

KubeSat 1 UHF downlink using 9k6 GMSK. A downlink on 437.085 MHz

SOC-i UHF downlink using 4k8 GMSK. downlink 437.125 MHz
