What I thought was a good identification of the satellites launched on 9/17/2012 ELaNa launch was incorrect. The identification of the objects in the cluster of satellites is still unsure.

Therefore, I must start over naming the satellites by Object C, Object D, and so on. Yes, very disappointing. This can be a long process particularly if the cluster takes a long time to disperse.

The objects that I have included in the KEPs this week are as follows:

Object D - Cat # 38761 Object E - Cat # 38762 Object F - Cat # 38763 Object G - Cat # 38764 Object H - Cat # 38765 Object J - Cat # 38766

I depend on you all to help identify the actual names of these satellites. I can add or subtract from this list as necessary. Please listen to the downlink frequencies of these satellites and by observing the AOS and LOS times, determine which object is which.

You can go to http://amsat.org/pipermail/ans/2012/000651.html to find the downlink frequencies for each satellite. Click on the previous ANS until you see ANS 260. The first article in ANS 260 has the frequencies to listen on.

Thanks for your help and I will give credit as credit is due.
