Hi Paul,
If EVERYTHING goes according to plan then FUNcube-1 could well be commanded
to operate autonomously within a week or two of launch.
This means that the spacecraft will have a linear transponder for amateur
use when in eclipse and high power telemetry for educational outreach when
in sunlight
"Everything" means a positive power budget, reasonable on board
temperatures, all antennas deployed plus a whole host of other on board
parameters being ok after launch!

I know Delfi-n3xt and the Tritons won't be available for amateur use for
a few months. How about FUNcube? I wonder what the timetable is for
putting it into it's normal mode where it will be available for amateur
use in the evening.

Paul, N8HM
