2 new objects have been cataloged from this launch: USA 340 & USA 341. These are almost certainly payloads that were deployed from LDPE-2. Tetra-1 and Alpine are the most likely options for these payloads in my opinion.

Four small satellites have been ejected from the US Space Force LDPE-2 satellite launched last Nov 1.  None of the 4 satellites (USA 340, USA 341, LINUS-A 1, LINUS-A 2) have public orbital data, but are thought to be in a drift orbit a few hundred km above GEO.

The  newly ejected satellites are catalog 55138, 55139, 55246, 55247.

This at least confirms that the two USA satellites are Alpine and Tetra-1. Distinguishing which is which could be harder though.

Will the deployed SmallSats from the LDPE-2 bus that can maneuver be harder to spotted by ground observers?
