Join AMSAT for a live blog of the RadFxSat (Fox-1B) launch beginning
at 09:15 UTC. The launch is scheduled for 09:47 UTC.
Note that due to the delay in the Orbital ATK Antares / Cygnus launch,
the main NASA TV channel will be covering the berthing of Cygnus to
the International Space Station. Coverage of the JPSS-1 launch will be
available on the NASA TV Media channel (NTV-3).

Hey Andrew,
All of those satellites are tracked automatically by SatNOGS.
https://network.satnogs.org/observations/
You can filter by satellite, station or even result (good or bad pass)
and even fetch those through our API to automate your chart.
Let me know if you need any more help on this.

Steve,
I've reported the issue to AMSAT IT. My theory is that the preliminary
keps for RadFxSat are crashing the engine used on that page.
Unfortunately, some prediction programs do not like the values used in
preliminary TLEs.
If that's the case, we may need to remove the preliminary keps from
the AMSAT distribution.

All,
With the launch delay of one day, the epoch of the TLE set changes
from day 317 to 318. But also the RAAN needs to be adapted. The
RAAN changes from 249.5697 to 250.5553.

A script that prepares the list of satellites for the tracking page
failed when the SATCAT object number is zero as is the case with the
preliminary RadFxSat TLE's.?? The script has been fixed in case someone
uses all zeros in that field again.
The bug was mine ... KD2BD's Predict engine was not at fault.

I've recently had the same issue with my digital download upon joining
AMSAT. I opened it a couple times on various computers, but when I finally
went to download and save a copy to my main machine, I got a message that I
didn't have anymore downloads available. Was there any indication that a
limited number of viewings were available until I could no longer access it?
I'd really like to finish reading it and be able to use it as a reference.
