[amsat-bb] Re: COMPASS-1 recovery attempt 0940utc (17/8): failed

[Angus]

I was monioring the last pass also and nothing was heard, this last pass was 
a good pass and should have been in full sunlight.
I will also make an attempt to upload the command to switch the heater off 
on the next pass (around 11.13UTC)
good luck everyone
regards
