[amsat-bb] AO-95 Rx problem

[Jerry Buxton]

Hi Francis,

That is one thing we are looking into, handily I am well acquainted with
the ExseedSat team lead and since we were in the deployer next to each
other and performing the integration together we have discussed the
possibility that we got to be too close friends somehow and are still
that way or perhaps remained too close even to the point of antenna
deploy and perhaps interfered with each other's deploy.  TLE indicated
separation is perhaps the only way to guesstimate that though.  If it
gives us something to maybe model or relate to past missions, we might
be able to infer that a possible cause was that we may have been close
for a while up to and including our antenna deploy times and something
may have happened as a result of that.  It would at least provide one
possible path to follow in looking for causes and maybe (and I mean
MAYBE) a solution.
Keep on watching for clues, thanks!

Jerry Buxton, NØJY
