The following "cloud" of ten satellites has been added to this week's KEP distribution. Note that it will take a while to sort out who is who. The Indian Pratham Team believes that NORAD Cat ID 41785 is the Pratham satellite, so we will call object 41785, satellite Pratham, for now. The following objects have been added to this week's KEP distribution.

OBJECT A - NORAD CAT ID 41783 OBJECT B - NORAD CAT ID 41784 Pratham (OBJECT C) - NORAD CAT ID 41785 (See above explanation) OBJECT D - NORAD CAT ID 41786 OBJECT E - NORAD CAT ID 41787 OBJECT F - NORAD CAT ID 41788 OBJECT G - NORAD CAT ID 41789 OBJECT H - NORAD CAT ID 41790 OBJECT J - NORAD CAT ID 41791 OBJECT K - NORAD CAT ID 41792
