Does anyone have an audio recording of the PSAT UHF audio downlink?
We can listen for nulls to guess the final spin rate.  This info is useful in
assessing the radiometric spin-design..
Thanks

Tomas,
The PSAT page starts talking about radiometric spin of psat as measured
on the initial orbits (6 years ago) but then has no follow up.  I doubt 11 RPM was the final spin?

It was best assessed just be hearing the audio swish of the carrier (which I never listened to).  What do you think was the final spin rate as I wrap up the page?

Thanks
