[amsat-bb] Temporary suspension of SO-67 service

[Jan-Albert Koekemoer]

Hello

 

There is little more than 6 weeks left in which to complete the outstanding
commissioning activities on Sumbandila before operations are planned to be
handed over in middle-March to the Satellite Application Center, who will
then continue to operate the satellite on behalf of the Department of Science
and Technology (DST) - owner of the satellite.

 

Since our progress is currently hampered by the various SA-AMSAT payload
activities, we have unfortunately no choice but to temporarily suspend this
service on SO-67.  We plan to have it "on air" again end-March / beginning
Apr this year.

 

We have so far successfully executed more than 320 payload activations since
we started using the SA-AMSAT payload in Q4 2009.

 

Thank you for your understanding and patience.

 

Best regards

Jan-Albert
