This is the first crewed polar orbit spaceflight in history and is scheduled for 3-5 days.

My satellites.txt file with Fram2Ham in it is at: https://tinyurl.com/N9KT-satellites

The TLEs are already in AMSAT's dailytle.txt: https://www.amsat.org/tle/dailytle.txt

Fram2Ham will be sending images using Robot 36 on 437.550 MHz +/- doppler.

A certificate is available for uploading an image.

Very interesting,

Do you know if celestrack will add this vehicle to their list that we normally use

It's in the CelesTrak listing of ALL TLEs, but not in the "Amateur Radio" listing yet. I don't know if it will make it since the spaceflight will only last 4 more days maximum.

I've received 8 pictures now! It's being heavily spotted on the AMSAT Status page: https://www.amsat.org/status/ (Yellow means they are sending pictures).

The USSF 18th Space Defense Squadron has issued object number 63427 "DRAGON Fram2" for the mission, so I have updated my "satellites.txt" file for anyone that wants to use it: https://tinyurl.com/N9KT-satellites

Right now you must use AMSAT TLEs: https://www.amsat.org/tle/dailytle.txt unless you use the giant file of all TLEs from CelesTrak.

The flight is also in SatNogs: https://db.satnogs.org/satellite/CXJW-8 ... -2060-9440
