Nigel,
Has anybody determined which Objects are Pollux and Castor? From looking
at the keps, my assumption would be objects D and E.

Hi Mike and the group,
Due to being very busy on this end, I've yet to try copying the birds to
test the keps, so I really can't deduce to which is which. Your correct,
they are still much too close to accurately name.

I don't know the order but I did publish a guess yesterday. That guess now
doesn't appear correct.
If we project these keps forward a few days, the order of the satellites is
clearly
D, Dragonsat, C, G, E, F. (D comes over first)
If we assume that the highest mass object will stay up longest,
Telemetry decode can be found here:

Hi Larry.
I'm not aware of decode software yet but the crib to help you is here
https://goby.nrl.navy.mil/ANDE/Castor.html and here
https://goby.nrl.navy.mil/ANDE/Pollux.html
To load the keps into Orbitron, cut the keps from the e-mail and paste into a
text editor (notepad for instance)
Save it
Castor is running the same power. I think the issue is the instruments
mounted to the shells are interfering with the transmission. I was
given permission to write up a couple articles about the satellites.
I'll start that and push them for release and to the AMSAT journals.
