Domenico, I8CVS, provided the following observation of FO-29’s analog
transponder:

Following suggestions of my friend Mak, SV1BSX,  I tried FO-29 the night of 27 July during the South bound orbit 58978. AOS for me in JN70ES was at 00:06 UTC and FO-29 was in sun light.

Wouter Jan Ubbels, PE4WJ, provided the following status update of the Delfi-C3 / DO-64 satellite on behalf of the Delfi-C3 team.

1. We have concluded the first three months of science mission with great success. A big word of thanks to all amateur radio operators around the world for collecting and forwarding telemetry, sending reception reports and observations, and thanks for all the tremendous support we have received. As of today, we have collected 396564 AX.25 frames through the worldwide network… a truly amazing number. Thank you all so much.

2. Delfi-C3 has been switched to permanent transponder mode during the 10:00 UTC pass on July 29th over the Delfi-C3 ground station in The Netherlands. This means that the spacecraft now boots in transponder mode as soon as the spacecraft exits eclipse. This was verified by a successful OBC database dump shortly after that.

Nu pekar det mesta på att Delfi C-3 öppnar nästa vecka. (DO-64 )
