Here is an update on the GOSAT objects now in orbit.
Does anyone have a list of what each object is now believed to be?
Listen for KAGAYAKI Satellite. Object D is thought to be KAGAYAKI
Per AMSAT News Service Bulletin 046.01 from AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD. dated February 15, 2009:
"The KAGAYAKI satellite has not been heard since it was launched with Japan's January 23 GOSAT satellite. KAGAYAKI was to transmit morse code on FM after separation from the H-2A booster. If operational KAGAYAKI should be tranmitting morse code on FM or 9600bps packet at 437.375MHz. The command team thinks the satellite's output power may very low because the antenna or solar panel has not extended properly. Ground controllers have been searching for a downlink signal using a spectrum analyzer."
