Hi Domenico, VO-52 health is monitored on a daily basis by ISRO, the telemetry and all telecommand is on non amateur radio frequencies and hence is managed by ISRO. 73 Nitin [VU3TYG] Secretary, AMSAT INDIA

Now who take care to monitor the battery and transponder conditions of VO-52 without to have a channel telemetry ? Who is entitled and able to send a command to VO-52 and switch from the AMSAT transponder to the Dutch transponder ? AMSAT-India or ISRO ? Have AMSAT-India or ISRO already tried to switch from the AMSAT transponder to the Duch transponder ? Have AMSAT-India a VO-52 command station or not ? Please let us know.

Myself and Mani, VU2WMY tried listening to the beacon and work thru the satellite during the 04:05 UTC pass over India ( 6 degree elevation) on Feb 29th but nothing was heard. I will post further updates when I hear from ISRO on the current status and next steps. Please submit your reports at www.oscar.dcarr.org or drop me a email. 73 Nitin [VU3TYG] Secretary, AMSAT INDIA Hi John, K8YSE Transponder and Beacon of VO-52 where also not heard over Europe at 17:55 UTC orbit Nr 36876 28 Feb 2012 73" de i8CVS Domenico ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Papay" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, February 28, 2012 3:03 PM Subject: [amsat-bb] VO-52 Not Heard > VO-52 was not heard over the US at 1330z, 28Feb2012. > Reports on oscar.dcarr.org at 1100z also say that it > was not heard over Europe. > > Please listen for VO-52 and submit reports to > the oscar.dcarr.org website. > > 73, > John K8YSE _______________________________________________ Sent via [email protected].
