[amsat-bb] AO-40: Mode K and X

[Peter Guelzow <peter.guelzow@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The transponder schedule was modified:

Since orbit 255 the K-TX (24 GHz) and X-TX (12 GHz, solid state PA) 
transmitters are now ON between MA 122 and MA 134.
The frequency for the Middle Beacon (and also the internal "Engineering
Beacon") for K-band is 24048.035 MHz.
So far, no reports have been yet received, although the output
indicator for K is nominal and everything looks good.

L1UC/S2 (L1, U, C uplink / S2 Downlink) transponder is On
from MA 70 to MA 209.

RUDAK1/2 downlink is On from MA 30 to MA 69 and MA 210 to MA 239.

The S2 MiddleBeacon is always On.

ALON/ALAT is 4/1, but magnetorquing to a new S/C attitude
for the Arcjet burn is under way.
