Current KEPs for Satellites Launched 10-28-11
The six satellites launched on 10-28-2011 by NASA apparently have not separated enough to clearly distinguish who is who. They are currently known in the SpaceTrack listing as Objects B though G. One of these called DICE is not an amateur satellite.
I will run this email each week until all have been identified. I earnestly solicit any help in identifying our newest satellites. Here is the identity list as I know it at this time:
RAX2 - Thought to be OBJECT E (Cat # 37853) (Thanks to Scott Palo, Unniversity of Colorado) ABIESAT-1 - Cat # ? M-CUBED - Cat # ? EXPLORER-1 [PRIME] - Designated as AO-71 by AMSAT -Cat # ? DICE - Non-Amateur - Cat # ? Satellite #6 - (I don't have a name for this one????)
Here are the current KEPs for OBJECTS B through G OBJECTB 1 37850U 11061B 11313.77511235 .00000490 00000-0 51357-4 0 00159 2 37850 101.7029 249.1733 0256161 257.2480 099.9666 14.77612623001817 OBJECTC 1 37851U 11061C 11313.91055354 .00008702 00000-0 71309-3 0 00355 2 37851 101.7034 249.3711 0255309 257.6700 099.5818 14.77649682001847 OBJECTD 1 37852U 11061D 11313.91051307 .00009729 00000-0 79621-3 0 00300 2 37852 101.7021 249.3683 0255053 257.8369 099.4153 14.77666523001845 OBJECTE 1 37853U 11061E 11314.85805854 .00009960 00000-0 81494-3 0 149 2 37853 101.6973 250.7408 0254584 255.1784 102.1089 14.77731581 1973 OBJECTF 1 37854U 11061F 11313.77327247 .00010702 00000-0 86602-3 0 00316 2 37854 101.7010 249.1760 0255818 257.9778 099.2689 14.77891710001809 OBJECTG 1 37855U 11061G 11313.84108831 .00010157 00000-0 82189-3 0 00254 2 37855 101.7012 249.2767 0256124 257.7024 099.5396 14.77872197001810
