Spin Period
17 May 2019 = 176.8seconds (from averaged panel temperatures)
18 May 2019 = 168.0 seconds (from averaged panel temperatures)
19 May 2019 = 148.5 seconds (from averaged panel temperatures)
20 May 2019 = 149.2 seconds (from averaged panel temperatures)
21 May 2019 = 147.0 seconds (from averaged panel temperatures)
22 May 2019 = 135.2 seconds (from averaged panel temperatures)
23 May 2019 = 190.5 seconds (from averaged panel temperatures)
Have no explanation for the sudden change in spin period on 23rd May.
Any commands issued over the last couple of days, abnormal high currents, whatever ??
As of today (23rd May) we now experiencing 18.0 minute eclipse periods per orbit.
Come early June we will stabilise at 20 minutes per orbit until early July when the
eclipse periods again shorten such that we again enter full sun on the 9th August.
