Tyvärr verkar det som om ARISSat-1 (Kedr) har drabbats av ett batterifel. Vi läser följande på ARISSat-1 hemsida:
Due to a failing battery the ARISSat-1 satellite continues to reset during each eclipse period. We are able to follow this situation due to the large number of volunteers around the world that are capturing telemetry and sending it to the server. You can follow the telemetry at http://www.ARISSTLM.org/mobile .
When the satellite Resets due to low voltage, the MET (Mission Elasped Time) resets to zero. Using this fact we are able to see that the satellite is only running for 111 minutes before going into low power mode and eventually resetting after entering eclipse. Please send in any telemetry data you capture while the satellite is in Emergency mode to arissattlm.org or the the amsat-bb@amsat.org.
