Satellite List

When looking for the operational status of some satellites & their instruments, I noticed there doesn’t appear to be a combined list for all. Thats why I compiled this list and wrote together information on (almost) all satellites that are featured in satDump. Maybe its useful to someone - if you spot any mistakes or want to add to it, please let me know! I made this list with the best of my knowledge, but mistakes can always happen - Crosswalkersam

Thanks to Zbychu, Aang23, SnazzLazz and Carl Reinemann for double checking this list!

Orbiting satellites

Annotation: METEOR-M N1 suffered a loss of attitude. It was completely deactivated, some rare activity on 1700Mhz.

METEOR-M N2 [Norad 40069]

Frequency	Status	Downlink type	Location
LRPT (137.1/.9MHz)	Inactive	DB	Global
HRPT (1700MHz)	Inactive	DB	Global
C-Band (3405MHz)	Unknown	DB	Global

Annotation: METEOR-M N2 suffered a loss of attitude on 24/12/2022. Because of that, most instruments have been deactivated and recovery is unlikely. Only instruments that do not require NADIR continue to work.

METEOR-M N2-2 [Norad 44387]

Frequency	Status	Downlink type	Location
LRPT (137.1/.9MHz)	Inactive	DB	Global
HRPT (1700MHz)	Active	DB	Global
C-Band (3405MHz)	Active	DB	Global
X-Band 1 (8120MHz)	Active	Dump	Moscow [RUS]
X-Band 2 (8320MHz)	Active	Dump	Moscow [RUS]

Instrument	Status
MSU-MR	Working
KMSS	Working
Severjanin-M	Defective
MTVZA	Deactivated
GGAK	Working

Annotation: A depressurization accured and N2-2 leaked coolant, causing some parts of the sat to overheat. Due to this, LRPT is unavailable. MTVZA may be switched on and off randomly (Deactivated as of 21/05/2023).

Update 28/01/2023: HRPT is now also active at night, and not limited by daylight.

METEOR-M N2-3 [Norad 57166]

C-Band (3405MHz)	Active	DB	Global
X-Band 1 (8120MHz)	Active	Dump	Moscow [RUS]
X-Band 2 (8320MHz)	Active	Dump	Moscow [RUS]

Instrument	Status
MSU-MR	Working
KMSS	Working
Severjanin-M	Unknown
MTVZA	Working
GGAK	Working

Annotation: As of 03/07/2023, IR channels 4/5/6 are active and transmitted on HRPT. Due to humidity in the MSU-MR assembly, frequent reheating is required. IR channels may still be fuzzy.

Annotation: It seems like N2-3 is conflict switching. The frequency may change randomly between .1 and .9 and 72k/80k modes in order to avoid collisions with N18/N19 APT.

Annotation: N2-3 activated MTVZA on 04/07/2023 with a different format than METEOR-M N2-2.

Annotation: METEOR-M N2-3 suffered a loss of attitude on 2023/09/05.

Annotation: Even though the LRIT transponder is active, it appears that no data is transmitted at the moment.

Update 03/02/2023: G14 has reached its new position and is now stable at 108.2°W.

Annotation: G14 is rarely active, booted up for a yearly check-up or support to GOES-16/17/18.
