Hi Tim,
Thanks for sending in those packets! We are still receiving packets from all over the world and it's great to see how everyone is still making an effort to receive data for us!
The reading you saw of -68 degrees on RAP1 is a spurious one, as this radio AND the PA temperature sensor is switched off at the moment. Still you can see the difference between the On Board Computer (OBC) and the PA of RAP2. The computer is usually around freezing point while the PA is warmed up and around 25 to 35 degrees as you observed.
Thanks for listening to Delfi-C3!

Hi all,
Just had an excellent pass for this satellite and managed to capture and upload 550 packets of telemetry to their servers.
It was cool to watch the data change as the satellite passed over and to see things like the massive difference in temps between sensors on the satellite such as +35degC on one and -68degC on the other !
cheers
Tim
