Observed Firefly Aerospace Blue Ghost again and got a full orbit of Doppler data. It looks like it is not hiding behind the moon anymore.


Observed Athena of Intuitive Machines on its way to the Moon. Got Doppler data on two days, and it matches nice on a fitted TLE, which was found at the SatNOGS forum. Thanks Scott Tilley ๐บ๐ฆ ๐จ๐ฆ for the hints to the GS.



Observed Athena #IM2 of Intuitive Machines again today. It was also groundlocked to India. Ignored the trajectory correction of march 1 and fitted the orbit.


Received a nice Doppler curve of Athena #IM2 of Intuitive Machines. I matched a Astropy/Poliastro model to it, showing an altitude of 105km. The complete orbit is visible and it is currently not hiding behind the moon. It appears to be flying circles around the moon seen from Earth.
