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.
The “event” on the 22nd April has affected both the spin and the attitude of AO-73 and the latest WOD of 28th April is attached below.
The most recent WOD downloaded from AO-73 on the 0604utc pass over VK on 28th April 2022.
