Changes to AMSAT-NA TLE Distribution for 8-23-2018
The following satellites have been added to this week's AMSAT-NA TLE distribution: SiriusSat 1 - NORAD CAT ID 43595 OBJECT PH - NORAD CAT ID 43596. OBJECT PJ - NORAD CAT ID 43597. Note that SiriusSAT 2 is either OBJECT PH or PJ. Thanks to Nico Janssen, PA0DLO.
The following satellites have been renamed: UiTMSat 1 is now NORAD CAT ID 43589. (was OBJECT PD) Maya 1 is now NORAD CAT ID 43590. (was OBJECT PE) Bhutan 1 is now NORAD CAT ID 43591. (was OBJECT PF) Thanks to DK3WN for identification.
The following satellites have been removed form the AMSAT-NA TLE distribution: OBJECT NU - NORAD CAT ID 43546 (CUBERRT) OBJECT NV - NORAD CAT ID 43547 (TEMPEST-D) OBJECT NW - NORAD CAT ID 43548 (?) OBJECT NX - NORAD CAT ID 43549 (HALOSAT) OBJECT NY - NORAD CAT ID 43550 (?)
Note also that the Chinese lunar orbiting satellites DSLWP-A and DSLWP-B (launched May 20, 2018) have been given new OSCAR designations as follows: DSLWP-A is now Lunar OSCAR-93 (LO-93). DSLWP-B is now Lunar OSCAR-94 (LO-94). LO-93 (DSLWP-A) was lost after one day in orbit but signals were heard from it. Thanks to Drew Glasbrenner, KO4MA (OSCAR Number Administrator).
LO-93 and LO-94 do not have NORAD CAT ID's since they orbit the moon and are NOT included in the AMSAT-NA TLE distribution. (Just point your antenna at the moon.)
