The identification of the 64 satellites launched by SpaceX SSO-A mission on December 3, 2018 continues. The concensus is that the spacing between unidentified satellites is growing to a point where positive identification may now be possible. In the past, two weeks after launch has been the time when distance between cubesats increases enough to identify most individual satellites. We will see.

There are no major changes to the previous AMSAT-NA TLE Distribution (Monday, December 17, 2018) for the IDENTIFIED SSO-A launch objects at this time except for the following comments:

(1) There is a disagreement between this week's TLE distribution (Thursday, December 20, 2018) and the Space-Track data of the same date. Space-Track shows PWSat 2 as OBJECT 43814, but detailed doppler analysis suggests that PWSat 2 is object 43775 or 43779. Hopefully this will be resolved in the next week. In the mean time, all three objects 43775, 43779, and 43814 are included in this week's distribution with PWSat 2 shown as CAT ID 43775.

(2) The following satellites still await greater separation: AO 95 (ex Fox 1Cliff) is shown as OBJECT 43769 but may be 43771; JO 97 (ex JY1Sat) is shown as OBJECT 43803 but may be 43801, downlink 145.839085 MHz.

(3) The following objects have been identified as non-amateur radio satellites and have been removed from this week's distribution: ICEYE-X2 1 - CAT ID 43761 (identified by Space-Track, non-amateur) STPSAT-5 - CAT ID 43762 (identified by Space-Track, non-amateur) CORVUS BC4 - NORAD CAT ID 43767 (identified by Space-Track, non-amateur) NEXTSAT-1 - NORAD CAT ID 43811 (identified by Space-Track, non-amateur) GLOBAL-2 - NORAD CAT ID 43812 (identified by Space-Track, non-amateur)

Finally, the following satellites have been added to this week's TLE distribution: Reaktor Hello World is NORAD CAT ID 43743 (Downlink: 437.77527) CHOMPTT is NORAD CAT ID 43855 (Downlink: 437.55895)

Thanks to Nico Janssen, PA0DLO, and Alan Biddle, WA4SCA, two very deligent "telemetry fans."

Thanks everyone else for your patience in this process!
