Hi All,

This is a question for Bob and Clive about UO-11 and PCSAT.

How long or how many full orbits does it take to enable these two 
satellites? I can see what some days PCSAT is in full sunlight for 2 or 3 
full passes, would this mean she would come alive on 1 full pass or does 
it take more?

And what about UO11, as Clive said this is due to go into eclipse for 
months in March onwards, but surely some days it should hit full sunlight 
for a few hours?

Also, does instantrack show the eclipse and non eclipse periods on a 
chart?

Thanks,

Chris
