We have a mystery signal at 435.965, possibly attached to 43012 - CZ-4C R/B. It was only active one time when checking a 24 hour observation. I am open to suggestions
@2m0sql Unfortunately this program will stop working within a year or so, because the use of TLEs will stop soon. Better switch to one of the new GP data formats now, e.g. the XML format.
OZ9AAR has released his Satellite Tracking app, SatTrack, for anyone to download at moonbounce.dk/hamradio/sattr…. I can report that it works very well, especially on data satellites compared to SatPC32.
It's released as is with no support.

NRCSD#28 Cubesat deployments from ISS on 2024-10-08 by Voyager Space Exploration Systems (ex Nanoracks):
CySat 1 at 10:25:12 UTC and DORA at 10:35:12 UTC.
Received good signals from DORA.

Tracking @ESA_Hera with one of the antennas at the Allen Telescope Array. I've had to shift back the ephemerides in JPL HORIZONS by 17.5 minutes, so I'm almost tracking in the blind.
@ESA_Hera Quite difficult to track, indeed. I'm looking at what Goldstone is doing in DSN now (1 degree resolution AZEL) and correcting by hand for the parallax.
@eelcodoornbos@Marco_Langbroek@Noorderlichtja1 Een opvallend zwakke CME passeerde L1 vanochtend om 06:56 UTC en arriveerde bij de aardse magnetosfeer om 07:39 UTC. Vooralsnog zijn de gevolgen zeer beperkt.
The 'lla' data shows the actual latitude, longitude and altitude. Latitude and longitude in radians, altitude in meters.
The 'ecef' data shows the actual X, Y and Z coordinates in meters, in Earth centered, Earth fixed reference frame.
@eelcodoornbos@Kp_index@NRCan@AETUDelft@esa_swarm Exactly. And therefore it is remarkable that some people only use today's value of the solar flux to calculate the drag on a certain satellite, and thus determine its remaining lifetime.
