AO-73 : Funcube-1

Rotation Period

15 Apr 2022 = 4.31 seconds (from the Sun Sensor Data)
16 Apr 2022 = 4.44 seconds (from the Sun Sensor Data)
17 Apr 2022 = 4.48 seconds (from the Sun Sensor Data)
18 Apr 2022 = 4.67 seconds (from the Sun Sensor Data)
19 Apr 2022 = 4.83 seconds (from the Sun Sensor Data)
20 Apr 2022 = 4.94 seconds (from the Sun Sensor Data)
21 Apr 2022 = 5.09 seconds (from the Sun Sensor Data)

AO-73 continues spinning about the Z-Z axis with the Z-Z axis slowly precessing about AO-73’s centre of mass in a non-stable attitude. AO-73 continues to exhibit small incremental increases in rotational period.
