no joy on BRICSAT-2...if its on the same orbit? 73 Christy KB6LTY DM14
--------- xcellent match so far with these elements:
PSAT2 1 44348U 19036K 19176.47956735 .00000352 00000-0 00000+0 0 9991 2 44348 28.5449 199.6259 0392489 107.1682 11.6450 14.96305882 23
Northern Hemisphere passes begin at about 9:35 PM LOCAL time Then again at around 11:15 PM and then about 01:00 AM local time ish....
What is amazing, is that it looks like it is about the SAME time every day for a pass even though the orbit is moving earlier
After a few days, there will be a new orbit around 8 PM local time, and the others above will continue at the same time.
And so forth. So it is moving earlier but appears to have this sun synchronous behavior...
