[amsat-bb] AO-40: Beacon off from MA3 to MA80

[Peter Guelzow <peter.guelzow@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear All,

Please note:   THERE IS NO BEACON FROM MA 3 TO MA 80

This is to conserve some power.


The Attitude continues to drift quickly:

   Orbit   alon     SA    temp 
 -------------------------------   
   202     143     -49     10.0
   203     139     -51     10.0 
   204     136     -53     10.0
   205     134     -56     10.0
   206     132     -58      9.4
   207     129     -60      8.7
 -------------------------------   

ALON is based on Earth Sensor stop scanning both upper and lower scans)
Sunangle SA is based on ALAT ~0° 

Extrapolating the above data, the Sun Sensors in the SEU should recover
on 2001 Apr 29, orbit 228, when the Sunangle SA is -45° and the ALON =
74°

-- 

The IHU-2 was turned on again to take 3 pictures at 3 minute 
intervals orbit 207 ma 250. Please help collect the "D" block 
data download. Please "zip" compress your telemetry files 
and e-mail to:     ao40-archive@amsat.org
