[keps] Updates to the AMSAT-NA Keplerian Distribution for the 8-3-2017
I need to do some clean up of satellite names in the AMSAT-NA TLE
distribution this week.
The following satellites have been renamed this week:
Object A - NORAD CAT ID 42765 is now named UCLSat
Object N - NORAD CAT ID 42777 is now named COMPASS 2
Object AA - NORAD CAT ID 42789 is now named skCUBE
The following satellite has been dropped:
Object AH - NORAD CAT ID 42796 DROPPED THIS WEEK (PSLV ROCKET BODY)
Now that the objects of the Indian PSLV launch of 6-23-2017 have been (more
or less) identified, I will be dropping some of the "Object" names from the
AMSAT-NA TLE list for those satellites that do not carry amateur radio. I
plan to drop them in the next week or two. But, in case I missed something,
please inform me why I should retain any particular satellite in the
AMSAT-NA TLE distribution and I will reconsider.
The objects that I plan to drop are named as follows on the Space-Track
website:
Object B - NORAD CAT ID 42766 is NIUSat
Object C - NORAD CAT ID 42767 is CARTOSAT 2E
Object E - NORAD CAT ID 42769 is CE-SAT 1
Object G - NORAD CAT ID 42771 is SHAINAJOHL
Object H - NORAD CAT ID 42772 is XUENITERENCE
Object J - NORAD CAT ID 42773 is LUCYBRYCE
Object K - NORAD CAT ID 42774 is KUNGFOO
Object Q - NORAD CAT ID 42779 is LYNSEY-SYMO
Object R - NORAD CAT ID 42780 is LISASUARUS
Object S - NORAD CAT ID 42781 is SAM-AMELIA
Object T - NORAD CAT ID 42782 is MCPEAKE
Object U - NORAD CAT ID 42783 is DIAMOND RED
Object W - NORAD CAT ID 42785 is DIAMOND GREEN
Object X - NORAD CAT ID 42786 is DIAMOND BLUE
Object AC - NORAD CAT ID 42791 is VENTA 1
Object AE - NORAD CAT ID 42793 is CICERO 6
Object AG - NORAD CAT ID 42795 is TYVAK 53B
For your information:
The BIRDS-1 deployment of 7-7-2017 from the ISS still remains unidentified
as yet. Space-Track had named them Objects A, B, C, D and E while they still
had previously named satellites from the Indian PSLV launch named Objects A,
B, C, D and E on their website. Since these duplicate names would be
confusing, I used the last letter from the International Designation
(INTLDES) to name these five satellites (U, V, W, X and Y. I am not going to
change my names at this time, but note that a change will eventually need to
be done.
