Additional spacecraft information can be found on the satellite websites listed below: M-Cubed: http://umcubed.org/ DICE: http://www.sdl.usu.edu/programs/dice Explorer-1[PRIME] http://ssel.montana.edu/e1p/ RAX-2: http://rax.engin.umich.edu/ AubieSat-1: http://space.auburn.edu/

All, the satellites below are on schedule for launch tomorrow morning. Launch will be viewable here: http://gs.engin.umich.edu/predictions/tle_elana3.txt
The initial keps are here. http://gs.engin.umich.edu/predictions/tle_elana3.txt. RAX-2, MCubed, E1P, and AubieSat are all trackable by most OSCAR stations. I am sure all the student teams would love to hear if HAMs world wide are picking up signals.

The initial keps have been loaded into the APRS pass predictor.
For APRS users, to get a pass prediction for your QTH, make sure you've beaconed your position recently then send a message to one of the following "stations" and you should receive information on the next (or current) pass:
SAT99999 or DICEY SAT99998 or DICEF SAT99997 or RAX2 SAT99996 (Mixed case sat names are not yet supported) SAT99995 or E1PU2 SAT99994 (Mixed case sat names are not yet supported)
For more information on the satellite pass auto-responder, please see http://aprsisce.wikidot.com/doc:satsrv

PS. Yes, you can also send an APRS message to ISS or AO51 to receive pass predictions for those satellites as well.

Hi all,In a diferent mail and in the latest keplers these sats are named A, B, C...., G Had any one already identified some of those, e.g.: A is .... B is .... I would like to try recieve the signals but not sure which one is which and not enough time to test one by one because I only can hear the birds after returning from work and before dinner ;-) between 18:00 and 20:00. Any info will be very usefull, 73, Raydel, CM2ESP

Hello Raydel,
The new satellites are pretty close together right now, so it's almost impossible to know for sure which Object has which real name. It will take a while (week or two, maybe longer).
In the meantime, I am finding pretty good automated tracking and telemetry collection using OBJECT C for RAX-2. It's a 9600 baud FM packet bird, so tuning isn't super critical.
Objects A, B, and H most certainly appear NOT to be the cubesats.
So start looking at C, D, E, F, G --and then you'll see these all track pretty close together anyhow--so knowing right now which is which isn't that important.
73,
Mark N8MH
