CAS-10 has been deployed and is active with strong telemetry. Unfortunately the satellite will never go over 2 degree elevation at my QTH (JO89WK).

The satellite frequency files for IC-705, IC-9700 and SDR-Console has been updated with CAS-5A, CAS-10 and IO-177.
All files can be downloaded from Github
If you have problem navigating in Github you can use this direct link and then just choose “Download” and you get all four files for IC-705 and IC-9700.
For more info about the files see:
The CAS-5, designated as Fengtai-OSCAR 118 (FO-118), satellite was successfully deployed into orbit in december 2022 (2022-12-09). CW and GMSK telemetry has been recieved and the U/V transponder has been active by several ham radio operators.

Still going strong!
Managed to work two QSOs today with GreenCube at 300bd. K8DP and EA1DR. I think the decode was a little bit better with 300bd then 1200bd. TX power was about 30 watts and no problem getting in on the satellite.
@FG8OJ has made an excellent guide of working GreenCube digipeater with IC-9700 and supporting software. I will not write a new guide as Burts guide fully covers everything.
Valid exchange messages for a QSO should be:
You can look at FT8 needed exchange : 2 exchanges from each side:
A:Grid
B:Report
A:R + Report
B:RR73
or
A:Report
B:R + Report
A:RR73
B:73
