[amsat-bb] Why AO-27 is off

[Emily Clarke <w0eec@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've been getting a number of questions about why AO-27 is turned off - 
after all - it's supposed to be a sun synchronous satellite, right?  Most 
here probably know the reason, but for the benefit of those who may not I 
posted a short explanation on the Project OSCAR website:
