On 5-20-2015 ten new cubesats were launched on a Atlas 5 from Cape Canaveral, Florida. The primary payload was the Air Force's X-37B space plane. Of these ten new cubesats four are of interest to radio amateurs. They are as follows:
USS Langley Cat# 40652 Psat Cat# 40654 BRICSat-P Cat# 40655 LightSail-1 Cat# 40661
KEPs for USS Langley are not available at this time. (You might use the Psat KEPs for now.)
Post launch KEPs (with temporary Cat#) for the following are available:
