Thanks to Nico Janssen for his work in predicting BY70-1's deorbit.
As noted last week, Nayif-1 was launched with 103 other satellites
on 2-15-2017. The cloud of satellites is beginning to spread and
Nico Janssen, PA0DLO, has developed a TLE set that many on AMSAT-BB
say is very accurate. I have included it in this week's distribution.
Thanks again to a very busy Nico for his excellent work.
Note that SpaceTrack has not assigned a NORAD CAT ID as yet. Thus
I am using Nico's Cat ID of 60000. So you will find Nayif-1 at the
very end of the TLE list.
Keith Pugh, W5IU, suggested that I include Nayif-1 in the regular
distribution so those using apps like PocketSat would be able to
track it. Good idea Keith. (I have PocketSat myself!)
