Updates for AMSAT-NA TLE Distribution as of 1-13-2018
Space-Track has listed the objects from the 1-12-2018 0358 GMT India PSLV-C40 launch. This includes Fox-1D as a yet unidentified object. So now we begin the identification phase of determining which object is actually Fox-1D.
The new objects are as follows: OBJECT A - NORAD CAT ID 43111 OBJECT B - NORAD CAT ID 43112 OBJECT C - NORAD CAT ID 43113 OBJECT D - NORAD CAT ID 43114 OBJECT E - NORAD CAT ID 43115 OBJECT F - NORAD CAT ID 43116 OBJECT T - NORAD CAT ID 43128 OBJECT U - NORAD CAT ID 43129
Our existing POST-Launch TLEs for Fox-1D ID (99934) are still included as the last TLE set.
I will continue include 99934 until we are reasonably sure that we have identified Fox-1D at which time I will change the name to Fox-1D or AO-92 as appropriate. The purpose here is to reduce the confusion caused by name changes on the various tracking programs in use.
