Hi all. The ARISSat team seem to have reached the conclusion that the Silver Zinc battery technology is not really suited for an orbiting satellite with a 55 / 35 minute charge and discharge cycle. I wonder if a couple of small Lithium polymer battery packs would be a suitable replacement for

Harvey, I intended to release an android app that would allow you to map ARISSat-1 and receive the telemetry for it. However, I never did put the finishing touches on it and publish it grin. I did show it to a few AMSAT people though and they seemed to like the idea. My implementation

Hi James, The CSV files are created automatically. You should have an ARISSatTLM folder on the desktop of your computer, created during the installation. Look in there, under the Telemetry folder. That was easy, wasn't it? :) Gotta love those kind of fixes. Glad you are having fun and success
