JARL command team announced Eclipse of FO-29 is 11/01 0% 11/10 5% 11/20 14% 11/30 17%. It goes up gradually. The temperature of the satellite falls with an increase of eclipse. It is considered as one of the reason that the temperature of FO-29's equipment is too high to accept the command. FO-29's equipment is designed to work for wide temperature range. However because of time degradation, it is to be considered that some component may have lower performance. JARL command team sends the command to FO-29 on the every weekend continuously. We are thinking that FO-29 will accept command when the temperature of equipment cools down to certain level.
