Updates to AMSAT-NA KEPs for 5-25-2017
The following is an update on "who is who" for the May 17th and 18th, 2017 QB50 cubesat deployment from the International Space Station (ISS). Eleven of the satellites deployed are QB50 satellites. Not all satellites deployed are QB50 cubesats with amateur radio capability. The satellite names and the NORAD Cat IDs per SpaceTrack are as follows:
SOMP 2 Cat ID 42700 HAVELSAT Cat ID 42701 Columbia Cat ID 42702 PHOENIX Cat ID 42706 X-CubeSat Cat ID 42707 qbee Cat ID 42708 ZA-AeroSat 1 Cat ID 42713 LINK Cat ID 42714 UPSat Cat ID 42716 SpaceCube Cat ID 42717 Hoopoe Cat ID 42718
This is what SpaceTrack shows now. There is always the possiblity that we will need to change something.
