The FO-29 Control team sometimes receives requests regarding the operation of Fuji No.3, but as they have already reported, more than a quarter of a century after its launch, the situation remains unstable. They regret that they are unable to operate Fuji No.3 in accordance with your wishes under these circumstances, and they ask for your understanding and continued use of her.
During February, the control team plans to send a command to turn on the transponder at the following times, but please be advised that if it is not turned on for more than 2 minutes after they start sending the command, they will terminate the command work.
February
6th 23:14-

14th 22:53-

27th 23:10-

Note: FO-29 will enter full sunlight around March 9.
Editor’s note: Full sunlight will hopefully allow continuous operation of FO-29’s linear transponder.
