The Chinese cubesats LONGJIANG 1 (ID 43471) and LONGJIANG 2 (ID 43472) have now reached lunar orbit. Therefore, the SpaceTrack TLEs and the normal tracking programs are no longer up to the task. See the postings of Nico Janssen, PA0DLO, on AMSAT-BB for a solution to tracking these lunar orbiters.
The following cubesat TLEs have been removed from this week's AMSAT-NA TLE distribution:
LONGJIANG 1 - NORAD CAT ID 43471 LONGJIANG 2 - NORAD CAT ID 43472
