Actually, most satellites start out operating continuously. They\nrun on batteries when they are in the dark. Normally the batteries over\ntime lose capacity. Then, various techniques are implemented to conserve\npower so that they can continue to operate when in darkness. Recently there\nhave been a few satellites designed to operate only when illuminated, such\nas DO-64. Generally the ones which require illumination are old satellites\nsuch as AO-7 and NO-44 which no longer have functioning batteries or control\nsystems. Fortunately satellites are usually, but not always, illuminated\neven when the area below is dark. \n\nAlan\nWA4SCA\n\n\n-----Original Message-----\nFrom: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On\nBehalf Of Dominic Hawken\nSent: Friday, November 19, 2010 7:29 AM\nTo: [email protected]\nSubject: [amsat-bb] Sats after dark\n\nProbably a dumb question and still new to this - apologies in advance. \nAm I right in thinking the amateur sats switch comms off when not in \nsight of the sun? Are there any that continue to run in darkness?\n\nBest,\n\nDominic G6NQO\n\n_______________________________________________\nSent via [email protected].
