Betreff: Re: [amsat-bb] NO-84

The power budget of the satellite is not able to sustain both the digipeater
and the PSK31 transponder throughout all parts of the orbit. When the
battery voltage drops below a certain threshold, the secondary mission of
the satellite, the digipeater, is shut off. The primary mission, the PSK31
transponder, remains operational.

When the eclipse percentage of the orbit drops, one of the command stations
will turn the digipeater on again.

73,

Paul, N8HM
