Yes, just had it drop into safe-mode towards the end of our nightly pass, roughly 2 hours after it entered eclipse. --Hans

AO-92 is currently dropping into safe mode due to low voltage near the end of eclipse on some orbits. Right now that's the end of the ascending, evening passes, and it's also dependent on the load the previous orbit. As soon as the satellite hits illumination again, it automatically comes out of safe mode. It's unfortunate that this is happening over North America right now, but it's the control software preventing the batteries from over discharge, which is a good thing.
