An annoyingly high pass this evening (79 degrees, on the wrong side of a
South-centered rotor)...
03:44z 8/16/2011
MET = 60 min
IHU temp = +39c
Control panel temp = +29c
Battery = 35.58v
Charge = -20ma
Satellite appeared to switch to low power mode right before this, as there were
a couple of voice greetings ("Hi this is ARISSat-1") prior to the telemetry,
then 2 minutes of silence.
When the satellite came back after the 2 minute pause, I tried hitting the
transponder with some CW dits. Nothing heard on the downlink, though my rotor
was horribly mispositioned at the time (ref the afore mentioned annoyingly high
pass...).
