Hi All, I didn't really know who to contact, so I emailed you all, sorry for the spam.
I'd like to officially inform the Amsat and IARU communities (though you surely know this already), that we are now sure CubeBug-1 is object 13018D / 39153.
In the last days NORAD has officially assigned the name "CUBEBUG 1" to object 39153.
Doppler shift analysis made by many members of the amateur community (via private communications) agree with this too. For example see http://www.dk3wn.info/p/?p=33101.
Finally, our own analysis, and that of the launch services broker (ISIS/ISL), based on insertion forces, masses and other physical characteristics, agrees with this assignment.
So we wanted to inform the community that we now officially assume the CubeBug-1 is object 13018D/39153 and that the frequency of the radio has shifted, for some yet unknown reason. We now assume the satellite transmits (and receives) at 437438300Hz. This again is mainly based in the experience of the members of the amateur radio enthusiasts.
And finally, but most important, we also wanted to thank the whole radio amateur community, so please forward them our most warm thank you. I tried to put what I feel in words a few days ago: http://1.cubebug.org/post/49490931912/we-love-the-amateur-radio-enthusiasts
thank you very much all for being there, gera for the CubeBug-1 team.
PS: Please, forward this email to who you think may be interested, thank you!
Mike,
Good news. This gets widely circulated.
73s,
