Just to update on POPSAT, last Saturday we encountered a problem that brought the battery voltage down to critical level, but we managed to solve it.
So for the past few days, POPSAT has been quiet in order to have undisturbed charging time.
Today we are happy that the battery voltage is back to full, unfortunately we have new problem :-(
The main communication bus is jammed again, and now we need to deliberately bring the battery voltage down to critical level for triggering the power cycle.
Today we’ve set a long frequent Morse beacon. The interval is 30 second, and the duration is estimated about 22-23 second.
Just in case you’re tuning to our satellite, it’ll be great to have your data :-)
Thanks much in advance.
