The following satellites were launched from the Internationa Space Station (ISS) on Monday, January 16, 2017. The satellites were launched from the new JEM Small Satellite Orbital Deployer (J-SSOD). The satellite names associated with the NORAD CAT ID may change as these objects separate and can be more easily tracked individually. We will start with the names used by SpaceTrack and see what happens. (Thanks to AMSAT-UK for info.)
NORAD CAT ID SATNAME 41930 ITF-2 41931 WASEDA-SAT3 41932 FREEDOM 41933 EGG 41934 TUPOD-Tancredo1 41935 AOBA-VELOX3
Note: EGG (Object 41933) does not carry amateur radio and will be removed as soon as all objects/names are confirmed. Object 41934 is a 3U satellite (three individual satellites permanently stuck together) and it consists of TUPOD, Tancredo1, and a non-amateur cubesat OSNSAT.
