The following satellites have been added to the AMSAT TLE Distribution this week:
FMN 1 (FengMaNiu 1) - NORAD CAT ID 43192. Shaonian Xing (MXSAT-1) - NORAD CAT ID 43199.
FMN 1 is still being commissioned. It currently is transmitting telemetery only , but it is hoped that it will activate a FM repeater soon. It is also believed to have a multi-camera and SSTV subsystems as well. We will see.
Shaonian Xing (the official name of MXSAT-1) is a student satellite and it is also still being commissioned. It may have a FM repeater, but we will again have to wait and see.
D-Star One is still a mystery. We have heard no signals from it so far, even though the owner claims all is OK??? We are still unsure which object it is (43184, 43185, or 43188). There has no signal to track. D-Star may be DOA (Dead On Arrival).
Thanks to Nico Janssen, PA0DLO, for above info.
