First signals in from #SpaceX's #Bandwagon4 launch today! 🛰️🛰️〰️📡

While the popular Transporter rideshare missions provide frequent access to polar orbits, the Bandwagon missions provide access to lower-inclination orbits of ~45 degrees. 🌍

It's been 14 days since the launch of #SpaceX #Transporter12! 🚀🛰 (thread)

In the weeks following a launch it can be a difficult task for satellite operators to keep track of a satellite's position without specialized tracking support.
