AO-27 schedular and website? Whats up.
by Tom Schuessler 02 Nov '11

02 Nov '11

I remember a note sometime ago that the keeper of the www.ao27.org web site who is also the keeper/sender of the TOPR timing information for the satellite was on a hiatus and that was the explanation of why the web site was not available and the updates to the epoch.txt and topr.txt files that the AO-27 scheduler do not work. It has now been several months since then and still the sites do not work and the software scheduler program will not get updates because the domain is unavailable. It did eventually say that it updated the files successfully but it did take quite a while. Any word on what the status is and more importantly, are the timings for AO-27 being updated periodically to allow for clock drift and orbital changes. Since the turn-on/turn-off schedule is important to the long term survival of the bird and knowing the timings are important to successfully working it, I wonder what is happening here? It Thanks and 73 Tom Schuessler n5hyp(a)amsat.org
