CubeBug-1 seems to be Object D

Based on the following TLE I would say – CubeBug is Object D. There is only a very small difference between E and D.
You can see the simulations for a 73 deg elevation pass below.

One thought on “CubeBug-1 seems to be Object D”

  1. I experience the same, object D gives the best doppler correction even with a high pass.

    Together with the CubeBUG team I am trying to receive the data that is faint around the carrier
    but until know I am not successful. The signal to noise ratio isn’t good enough for AX25 decoding.
