Mass Amateur Radio Satellite Launch 26th
July - Update
This launch, originally planned for June, was rescheduled to 26th July.
Ralph Wallio, WØRPK has supplied the following TLEs (needed by
satellite tracking software) for the launch. He has also supplied a post-launch
operation schedule based on P-POD C TLE.

CalPoly has posted initial TLEs for the DNEPR-1 CubeSat launch which
is scheduled to take place on the 26th July 2006 at 19:43:00 UTC:

P-POD E

(Note that TLEs for P-POD A and P-POD B are the same so expect a change.
Use of any single TLE, e.g., elements for P-POD C, is reasonable because
all CubeSats will be too close to resolve AOS/TCA/LOS differences for
a few days after deployment.)
The following post-launch operation schedule is based on
