[amsat-bb] Fox -1B / AO-91 in trouble?

Tue Apr 30 16:17:11 UTC 2019

I cycled the power to the IHU and it popped right back the way it should be.
Should be fine now, but reports for the next day or two will be appreciated.

My first pass is just after noon. If it hasn't self-corrected by then, I'll
try a reset.

Hans,

Looks like if it IDs, the signal is normal and you get the usual 2 telemetry
frames.  If the transponder has been brought up, you get the odd signal,
with a brief switch to DUV at the end, but no telemetry.  The command staff
have been notified.

73,

Alan
