[amsat-bb] FOX-1D (AO-92) in safe mode

[Don KB2YSI]

>From my very limited knowledge, the batteries are dropping to a voltage
during eclipse that safe mode is triggered to prevent the batteries from
discharging too far and thus preventing damage.  Once the satellite is back
into illumination it should return to normal operations once the batteries
have charged.

AGAIN, this is MY understanding of the situation, and in no way reflects an
officatial AMSAT response nor might be accurate.
