Telemetry

04:38 UTC nothing heard anymore

03:13 UTC getting weaker and weaker

01:39 UTC still a faint signal ~ 2 minutes ahead TLE

LightSail status is unchanged. The TX is on but th team is unable to command.

… at least this make doppler and spin analysis easier

RF field strength plot shows ~ 8.5 deg/s (June 11 02:10 UTC)

the most recent telemetry (which is a bit old now) shows rates of

X = 7.225000 [deg/s]
Y = -0.300000 [deg/s]
Z = -0.087500 [deg/s]

7 deg/s is rather fast, but not as fast as we saw pre-deployment

all my nightly passes at 23:43 UTC, 01:30 UTC and 03:08 UTC

My first pass was at 2256 UTC (10 Jun) when I saw that behaviour. And the TX was on during all passes here over Europe – as yet. It’s amazing how long the batteries work…
