Tevel Sat

Post by i5ekx » Thu Jul 06, 2023 7:59 am

Is it possible to insert the Keplerian data of the Tevel satellites? https://amsat-uk.org/2022/01/12/tevel-satellites/

Are these satellites even active ?

They were launched over a year ago

You can manually add satellites to the satellites.txt file in the installation folder on your PC.

Open a text editor to

%programfiles(x86)%\OpenGD77CPS\satellites.txt

Thank you for the quick reply, following your instructions I found the file, but I have no experience with Keplerian data, what should I enter as the last two digits? Where do I get this data? See picture, thanks.

Hi,

remove the dot in the VHF freq. You also need to add CTSS and armCTCSS.
Remember, the kep file is limited to 15 satellites.


Cheers.

Thanks Daniel, the point was an oversight, do you know these CTSS and armCTCSS values for Tavel satellites?

According to https://www.amsat.org/fm-satellite-frequency-summary/
8 identical 1U CubeSats. Transmits 9k6 BPSK telemetry by default, can be commanded to operate as FM repeaters.
So you can start with 0,0 as tone values.
