Detailed doppler shift measurements show that CUSat is either
object 39266 or object 39271. Object 39271 appears to be officially
identified as the second stage of the Falcon rocket. If that is
true then object 39266, 2013-055B, is CUSat.
On October 6 around 19:30 UTC I measured a pass of CUSat and
found that the difference between CUSat and object 39266 was
about 6 seconds, using the elements set with epoch 13277.72822065.
Besides object 39271 no other objects were near CUSat.

Looks like the DANDE website officially uses 2013-055B too!

Alan & Bryce,
2013-055B appears currently to be the best fit for both DANDE and CUSAT.

Bryce,
I ran the Keps for all the objects. Space-Track shows something like 20,
which is interesting. They are already widely dispersed, so given the low
transmission rate, it might be better to wait a few days until at least
some
tentative identifications are made. I expect DK3WN is on the case. :)
