Hi folks,
Delfi - C3 uses partial deployed solar panels and whilst having  other on 
board problems is still sending
data which I monitor on a regular basis.
Remember also that it does not use batteries and is therefore only  
functional when in sunlight.
Temperatures must be quite high on such a small area   - Just a  thought.
