Just updated my HRD Sat program and it now lists keps for 'Radioscaf-B'. (no ARRISat-1' listing)
Will that eventually change?

It doesn't.
But it speaks to what many are feeling - well, speaking for myself at least - that it would be a really good idea, politically, that when ARISSat-1 gets an Oscar number, it should have an AO-prefix, not an RS-prefix.
There, it's been said.

As many have said before. Perhaps we should get away from the American system of allocating Oscar numbers and use the real world name that the builders and launch agencies use.
