It will launch a bit over 50 years since another memorable launch...

Anyone heard of any contacts being made on this satellite? I have heard the beacon, but have not heard any signals on the down link.
Further to the above, does anybody know of any real-time spotting sites for satellite contacts, or who has worked what?
