B.N.Duong and S.Bianca who belong to VNSC(Vietnam National Satellite Center)
and Kyushu Institute of Technology came to my home in Yokohama Japan to see
how to operate the satellite communication on 23 Nov 2013.
Then I demonstrated with them in order to decode XI-V signal.

There is now a report from the reliable sources that "PicoDragon = ISS OBJECT B"!
I noticed that it is shifted as much as 30 minutes of each other when I tracked
the prediction by OBJECT A, B and C. It is "PicoDragon = ISS OBJECT B" sure.

Now,
