AO-73 : Funcube-1

Rotation Period

My thanks to Terry VK5GU for downloading the telemetry last week.
Greatly appreciated.

13 Oct 2023 = 3.27 seconds (from the Sun Sensor Data)
14 Oct 2023 = 3.22 seconds (from the Sun Sensor Data)
15 Oct 2023 = 3.19 seconds (from the Sun Sensor Data)
16 Oct 2023 = 3.15 seconds (from the Sun Sensor Data)
17 Oct 2023 = 3.10 seconds (from the Sun Sensor Data)
18 Oct 2023 = 3.05 seconds (from the Sun Sensor Data)
19 Oct 2023 = 3.05 seconds (from the Sun Sensor Data)
20 Oct 2023 = 3.00 seconds (from the Sun Sensor Data)
21 Oct 2023 = 2.95 seconds (from the Sun Sensor Data)
22 Oct 2023 = 3.00 seconds (from the Sun Sensor Data)
23 Oct 2023 = 2.90 seconds (from the Sun Sensor Data)
24 Oct 2023 = 2.84 seconds (from the Sun Sensor Data)
25 Oct 2023 = 2.80 seconds (from the Sun Sensor Data)
26 Oct 2023 = 2.78 seconds (from the Sun Sensor Data)

Over the last 6 weeks we have noted a slight increase in the spin rate of AO-73 after a considerable period of “stable” spin.
