The following satellite has been added BACK to this week's AMSAT-NA TLE distribution:
AO-16 NORAD Cat ID 20439 (TNX to Mark Hammond, N8MH, for this "heads up"). Per Mark Hammond, N8MH, AO-16 has entered a period of full sunlight for the first time in many years. Based on past experience, AO-16 might warm up and wake up. So, use the AO-16 TLE to listen for an old friend.
The following satellites have decayed from orbit and have been removed from this week's AMSAT-NA TLE distribution:
ELFIN-B NORAD Cat ID 43616 (decayed from orbit on 9/30/22 per Space-Track). BINAR-1 NORAD Cat ID 49272 (decayed from orbit on 9/30/22 per Space-Track).
