All,
Fox 1B was released from its P-POD at 11:09 UTC today over northern Europe. It is in a slightly elliptical orbit with a perigee of 439 km and an apogee of 811 km. The orbit inclination is 97.7 degrees. No downlink signals received yet.
The pre-lauch TLE set appears to be almost 20 minutes late.

When should we expect an updated set? After it starts transmitting?
Ignore my remark on the 20 minute offset. I was checking against a wrong TLE set. The pre-launch TLE set should still be used until really measured TLE sets will be published later today.

I concur. Use pre-launch TLE for now.
Awaiting corrected POST-launch TLEs.

The first four post-launch TLE sets have been published by Space-Track. They are for objects 43013 through 43016. They seem to be for four of the five cubesats in this launch. They are only seconds apart. Of course it is not clear yet if the TLE set for Fox 1B is one of these sets and if so, which one it is.

Note that RadFxSat has now been designated AO-91 by AMSAT-NA.

Signal clearly visible at single-digit elevations from Virginia, USA. Tried but unfortunately could not decode even on replay, but the "Eye Diagram" in FoxTelem sure does try to form a nice circle!
Here is a screen print of the signal:

Edson,
many thanks for sending this in and for the subsequent frames collected from Brazil. We have very few stations collecting telemetry in South America, so it was really important to get data from this part of the orbit.

I'm interested to see if RadFxSat picks up the increased radiation levels due to the G1-level geomagnetic storm today/tonight.
Anyone know if this data is being plotted somewhere web-accessible?
