[amsat-bb] LitSat-1 decayed
Looks like LitSat-1 decayed overnight. 39570 LITSAT 11998-067EP LTU 2014-05-23 11:22:00 2014-05-23 0:00:000.0885 decay_msg TLE Historical Too bad we never got to try out the linear transponder over North America. LituanicaSAT-1 is still up there and expected to decay around June 29th (per http://www.satflare.com/track.asp?q=39571#TOP). Interesting that the orbits of two CubeSats deployed at the same time are decaying much differently. Since the two satellites are identical in size, the antenna configuration and mass must be more favorable on LituanicaSAT-1. 73, Paul, N8HM ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

Re: [amsat-bb] LitSat-1 decayed
Well spotted Paul. It's certainly worth any CubeSat deployed from the ISS or into a low orbit to be as close to the maximum 1.3kg as possible.

[amsat-bb] LITSAT-1
Looking for reality check. Haven’t been able to hear anything yet. I have verified tracking comparing my SatPC32 to an online tracking site. The two agree or at least seem to.

[amsat-bb] LitSat-1 Decoder
Hello… I am having a problem with the V1.83 decoder from the Litsat website. It copies the rawdata, converts it to Hex but will not decode hex file to text file. Any one else seeing this problem?? Also…anyone using a hardware tnc with this program successfully? Bruce ke0lxEn25lc Sent from Windows Mail ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author.

[amsat-bb] LitSat-1 and LituanicaSat-1 candidate objects
Here's my take on who's who based on observing AOS over the Pacific and an email from Mike Rupprecht, DK3WN: LituanicaSat-1 = 1998-067EL (catalog number 39567) LitSat-1 = 1998-067EM (catalog number 39568) 73, Ken, W7KKE ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] LitSat-1 candidate object
Based on a high elevation pass (82 deg) with satellite rise over the Pacific, 1998-067EM (39568) is a very good fit. AOS was within 10 seconds of predicted AOS. Doppler correction tracked good through TCA. 73, Ken W7KKE Lincoln City, OR ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?
