Hi, 3 Cubesats have been launched from Antares into 250km orbits this Sunday. They are dubbed PhoneSats, because they are using smartphones as processors: http://phonesat.org/ The PhoneSats are sending packets at 437.425 MHz in the amateur band, also including pieces of a picture taken with the phone cameras. More details on the website under "packets". So far, radio amateurs have been successful picking up packets using preliminary/inofficial TLEs created by the PhoneSat team from launch data. http://phonesat.org/phonesat.txt However, those TLEs are going to get bad soon. So if someone could update the PhoneSat post-launch TLEs (from their website), this would be really great!
