Apparently FASTSAT kicked it out, but Nanosail-D2 either didn't want to go or left silent and sullen. No radio beacons--several amateur radio trackers also report nothing. www.bit.ly/8Si0a Any one out there with a potentially visible pass in the next couple of days want to see how many, if any, satellites from the launch of STP-S26? Below I've copied the TLEs from the project websites. Some are more recent than others. The others aren't published, I guess. I've run these and I do not have a visible pass in the near future. I imagine they would be along about the same trajectory. Four would be the middle sized sats: FASTSAT, FASTTRAC, STPSat-2, and FALCONSAT-5, the last two which are apparently military and I found no TLEs for. The other two below are the smaller CubeSats which may be too small, too high. Who knows? That would be six satellites for the launch, plus nanosail for which there is no TLE, if it ejected. If you see seven, you can report news that no one else has.
