Hi Mani,
Dear Friends,
With heavy heart, I sadly convey, that our little angel ‘HAMSAT VO-52’
would no more be able to offer her services to the ‘Amateur Radio
Fraternity. HAMSAT VO-52 succumbed in Space on 11th July 2014, while
she
was on her 49,675th orbit, due to the failure of on-board lithium ion
batteries that have met their end of life.
Sad news, it is one of my favourite satellites and she will be missed.
I want to thank all the people that made and supported this Satellite
for all
there effort and hope as others already mentioned that maybe she will
come
back one day.
