AO-73 : Funcube-1

Rotation Period

10 Feb 2023 = 2.16 seconds (from the Sun Sensor Data)
11 Feb 2023 = 2.02 seconds (from the Sun Sensor Data)
12 Feb 2023 = 1.99 seconds (from the Sun Sensor Data)
13 Feb 2023 = 2.11 seconds (from the Sun Sensor Data)
14 Feb 2023 = 2.05 seconds (from the Sun Sensor Data)
15 Feb 2023 = 2.04 seconds (from the Sun Sensor Data)
16 Feb 2023 = 2.05 seconds (from the Sun Sensor Data)

Based on the data over the last 8 weeks it would appear that AO-73 has been “maintaining a relatively constant spin rate”.
Do wonder whether this is going to continue indefinitely?
