RS-39 daily summary

January 26 continued to work with the satellite “Chibis-M”. In the period from 01:00 am to 11:00 pm Moscow time, were carried out 4 sessions with ground control station in Krasnoyarsk and 5 sessions with ground control in Kaluga.

During this time the satellite passed over hundreds of commands and received a large amount of telemetry data. The data obtained allow to assess the state of each subsystem and satellite work out the correct method of management of these subsystems. Being closely monitored for system power and system orientation of the satellite. It was from their state depends on the successful operation of all onboard equipment.

For the past day onboard network voltage is varied from 13 to 15 volts, which corresponds to normal. Mounted on the satellite machine disconnects the battery to reach a certain voltage on it, cut-off threshold of the charge depends on the temperature of the battery.

The temperature of the equipment on board varies depending on the location of the satellite and, in general, ranges from 0 to 20 degrees Celsius.

Work continues on setting up the system orientation and stabilization of the spacecraft. To do this quickly analyze incoming data. During today’s session on satellite monitoring program has been laid and the calibration parameters of the orientation system.

Issuance of telemetry in Morse code was disabled this morning and will be included again in the 20:30 UTC.
