[amsat-bb] Fox-1A (AO-85) in safe mode over Europe Jun 5 21:25?

[Andrew Glasbrenner]

As a follow-up, if the satellite has an IHU reset while in auto safe mode,
it reboots to safe mode. This apparently happened last night or yesterday. I
commanded it back to Transponder mode this morning.

It has been dropping into Safe Mode at the end of eclipses for a little
while now. It's a planned feature to protect the batteries from excessive
discharge.

Hello all,

I've been using (the most amazing) http://vhf.pi5fts.nl/ WebSDR to listen to
passes on the other side of the globe.

I noticed that Fox-1A was announcing "Safe Mode" with what sounds like
9600 bps telemetry. Is this normal?

I didn't catch the voice announcement, but I do have a WAV file of the
telemetry.
