To add some info from Dale's message on AO-40, this is from the amsat-dl site: AO-40 TELEMETRY TRANSMISSIONS STOPPED, DEVELOPMENT TEAM INVESTIGATING December 13, at 1123 utc telemetry transmissions from AO-40 stopped while work on the 400 N propulsion system was in progress. An investigation by the AO-40 development team has begun. They are now waiting for certain on-board software events to occur on Saturday afternoon, December 16. These are programmed to start a spacecraft emergency routine called "command-assist" which attempts to re-establish communications. This offers the best chance of recovering evidence of the incident which made the telemetry transmissions stop. When more information becomes available, we will pass it along. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www2.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
