UoSAT-2 was commanded to send telemetry from shortly before LOS at Surrey on Thursday at 22:32:20. We have reception reports from Japan at 22:53, however the 145.825 MHz beacon was not heard later in the USA. Attempts on the first two passes this morning at Surrey to re-boot the computer and turn on the beacon - or, indeed to turn it on manually - have failed. We would be very interested in data and reception reports for the 145MHz beacon from 22:50 onwards yesterday in order to attempt to find a cause for this potential problem. Roger Peel G8NEF Martin Sweeting G3YJO UoS [ANYONE receiving telemetry after the 22:53 UTC Japan pass is urged to let me know, even if you were unable to decode it - even a simple reception report is crucial. Please forward to allegra!karn. Thanks - KA9Q]
