Hej Satellitintressenter! hr kommer litet klipp frn ntet,
Fr vrigt s r RS 12 fortfarande tyst och det kanske r s illa att den skadats av solens aktivitet.
AO10 r fortfarande tyst
AO27 har varit igng.
UO14 kr dom fr fullt.
FO20, FO29 r fina satelliter med fr lite aktiva.
AO7 gr otroligt starkt och jag fljde den nda till 4500 km avstnd.

When the ALON/ALAT significantly alters, the M-blk gets modified and also posted here.There has been no significant change in ALON/ALAT from the last posting.
However, we are shortly about to raise ALAT quite a bit, followed by about 3 weeks of drifting past the sun. During this time, the squints will be poor, as will the solar angles. The transponders may be off for much of this time because of the poor conditions and to conserve power. At the end of that time, ALON will be ~335 degs, we will be able to lower ALAT to 0, restore transponder usage, and have some steady improvement over current conditions. By about November 15th, if all goes well, we should be back to ALON/ALAT = 0/0/, where we can stay for ~3 months. More details will follow in a few days.

Senaste info frn Oscar 40-teamet:
Because of the increasing ALON, it is now necessary to take pictures for attitude determination at the end of one orbit, and download them after apogee on the next orbit. This requires the IHU-2 to be left on through two passes of the radiation belts. Since EDAC is not currently active on the IHU-2, there is an excellent chance that it will crash about every second or third time this is done. A crash of the IHU-2 takes only a few minutes to correct, but until it is corrected the result will be an unmodulated tone on the middle beacon. If you should encounter this, be aware that the IHU-1 is running properly in the background and the command team will restore the beacon ASAP. The photos are not lost when the IHU-2 crashes, as long as the unit is not powered off.
The eclipses are continuing to lengthen and move later in the orbit. The timing of the beacon off interval will need frequent adjustment over the next several weeks. The interval will shortly be moved to MA 40 to 90.
