NOSS 15
Also called NOSS 2-3 or USA 119
Seems to downlink at 250.150 MHz
USA 120 (23907 / 96029B)
USA 121 (23908 / 96029C)
USA 122 (23862 / 96029D)
A tether satellite was carried with this launch called: Tether Physics
and Survivability (TiPS) This experiment consists of 2 small end-masses
connected by a 4 km nonconductuve braided tether (total mass: 53 kg). TiPS was
jettisoned from its "host vehicle" on 20 June. It is aimed to test the
survivability of the tether. The tether is predicted to have a mean life of 5
years before it is cut by orbital debris. The observed life of TiPS will help
understand and validate these theoretical predictions.
The two objects could be USA 123 (23936 / 96029E) & 124 (23937 / 96029F)
