Hi Mani,
Congratulations on the recovery of VO-52; it's great to have our friend
back.
I am curious if ISRO will be issuing some sort of report on what
happened. I understand that they will have limits on what they can say,
but if there is something the satellite community can learn from this,
it would be good to not miss the opportunity.

Dear HAMSAT VO-52 users,
The commands to 'Turn On' the transponder # 2 (Dutch transponder, made
by Williams PE1RAH) on-board HAMSAT VO-52 was successfully sent during
14:00 UT 35 deg ascending Node pass over Bangalore, India.
The sent commands were successfully received, acknowledged and
confirmed by the telemetry. Subsequently, the transponder # 2 is now
'ON' and Williams CW message beacon was heard again after a gap of
approximately 6 years & 4 months.
The beacon signal was heard loud and strong here at Bangalore.
