There's a report that one of the AlbaPods may have failed. The pod contained SATLLA 2A and other satellites. This might explain why fewer than expected objects have been catalogued.https://www.ariel-asc.com/post/satlla-one-day-a-journey-blog
Any info about which satellites those could be?https://twitter.com/planet4589/status/1486219273735479296
MOSCOW, January 26 - RIA Novosti. The Ukrainian satellite Sich-2-30, the first launched in 11 years, is probably lost. This opinion was expressed on his Facebook page by Andrei Kolesnik, a former freelance adviser to the head of the State Space Agency.According to the expert, the Ukrainian satellite has not yet been identified, although under an agreement between Kiev and Washington , signed in August 2021, the United States should have already brought it to the base. It is available on a dedicated website.Identification occurs either with the help of the owner of the spacecraft, or if the owner himself wants to disclose the flight path, or within the framework of agreements, as in the case of Sich-2-30, the expert wrote.Since he has not yet been identified, Kolesnik suggested that there were problems with communication with the satellite. "There is no stable (or no) connection with the Sich-2-1 (Sich-2-30) satellite, therefore it is not possible to provide information to the American side regarding the advanced parameters of its movement for complete identification," he wrote.The first satellite in orbit in 11 years was launched on January 13 on Elon Musk's Falcon 9 launch vehicle.The Sich-2-30 satellite was designed to monitor the use of land, vegetation, forest and water resources, as well as to eliminate the consequences of natural disasters. At the same time, it should have made it possible to obtain sufficiently high-quality data on the creation of engineering structures, the movement of military equipment and ships. Sich-2-30 became Ukraine's first own satellite in orbit in 11 years. It was planned that by 2025 a group of eight Ukrainian satellites would be created in Earth orbit.

The deployment phase of ION's DASHING THROUGH THE STARS mission is officially over. ION delivered all the #spacecraft into their operational orbital slots🎯Thanks to @LockheedMartin @USC @VZLUcz @spacemanictech. It’s been a pleasure giving you a ride to space🚀#inorbitnow
THE MAIN SYSTEMS OF THE VZLUSAT-2 NANOSATELLITE PUT INTO OPERATIONAmong the devices commissioned in this first batch was also a high-resolution camera. The aim was to verify the functionality of the camera and to take the first images in high resolution, without pointing the satellite to a specific area. During the process of taking pictures, the satellite rotated slowly, taking shots of the horizon, as well as details of the clouds over the Pacific Ocean. As the next step, commissioning of the second RGB camera system with a larger field of view will take place.“The goal of the mission is to take pictures of the Czech Republic, both in low and high resolution. However, to get there, there is still long way to go, it is necessary to precisely control the satellite pointing, which is something that no one has ever done in the Czech Republic. All sensors and especially the reaction wheels of this system are now operational and therefore we plan to move to the next phase in the upcoming days and commission the entire attitude control system, “explains Vladimír Dániel. VZLUSAT-2 has two camera systems on board, both developed in cooperation between Eltvor Instruments and VZLU.In the second week after the deployment, gamma-ray burst detector for Masaryk University in Brno and Konkoly Observatory and X-ray solar cameras from Rigaku Innovative Technologies Europe and ADVACAM were turned on. Both devices have successfully performed the first measurements and are now also awaiting gradual commissioning.
“I wrote to SpaceX personally. They have an accessible direct form of communication on the website,” says Mykhailo Lev. “Regarding the launch, we communicated with their specialist who is responsible for the satellite launch program and payload on Falcons [Medium-lift launch vehicles, created by Elon Musk’s company]. He said that the weight of 160 kilograms would cost us roughly $1 million. Well, one million dollars is much less than six, and, of course, I was interested in their offer, because the longer this satellite lies in the warehouse of Pivdenne Design Office, the more it becomes obsolete. Due to the fact that over one hundred million hryvnias had already been spent, I understood that if we launched it and spent another $1 million, we might return to orbit,” Mykhailo Lev tells Zaborona.
