After a few months of normal eclipse periods, FUNcube-1 (AO73) will, next
week, re-enter full sunlight from next week for a period of approximately
two months.
As we have been in continuous transponder mode for some time now, we have
decided that, during this sunlight period, FUNcube-1 should operate in
continuous high power telemetry mode. The change will be made within the
next few days.
FUNcube-1 has now been in orbit for almost eight years and the telemetry
indicates that all systems, including the battery and solar panels appear
to operating as well now as they did immediately after launch!
