It<br />is<br />difficult to tell if the 24 hour timer will be reset or if there is<br />enough<br />energy to keep it running during the short periods of eclipse AO-7<br />experiences for the next few weeks. We should know in a few days by<br />observing<br />the modes reported on each orbit.<br /><br />Please keep your power low!

http://www.amsat.org/amsat/sats/n7hpr/ao16.html<br /><br />This from Paul Williamson,KB5MU:<br />There has been no loss of command function on AO-16.<br /><br />The BBS is down because of localized memory failures in the mass memory<br />used<br />for message (file) storage, caused presumably by radiation. It would be<br />poss-<br />ible to modify the on-board BBS software to work around these memory<br />failures<br />and the command team did request that this be done, but it has not been<br />aggressively followed up due to the apparent lack of interest in 1200<br />bps<br />capabilities.<br /><br />The S-band beacon isn't broken to the best of my knowledge, it's just<br />turned<br />off. The power budget doesn't allow the S-band beacon to be run<br />continuously<br />without reducing the main downlink to flea power. I can't explain<br />VK5DG's<br />observation of telemetry indicating 700mw of output from the S-band<br />trans-<br />mitter, but perhaps someone who has paid more attention to the telemetry<br />could explain it.<br /><br />There hasn't been much communication within the AO-16 command team in a<br />long<br />time, since the satellite is pretty much self-sufficient in its current<br />mode<br />and we haven't been working on any projects to change things.
