Hola Pedro,
We are in a part of the orbit where there is very little (or no) time when there is not some sun shining on AO-85 as you can see from your favorite orbit prediction program. You can also see from the telemetry that the temperature is higher, and this seems to lower the frequency.

Hi,
I just had a 80 plus degrees pass by AO-85 and noticed that the downlink frequency was, at the descent phase, off by 10kHz at 145.970. Despite correcting for Doppler I've never seen this kind of deviation before in such a overhead pass, where usually stands around 145.977.
