Hello All,
Here is the AO-51 schedule for Sept. and early October. Thank you for your requests.
We'll continue the mode starting October 4 through the AMSAT Symposium and beyond. We'll post more information after we see how the bird performs during the coming weeks.
Notes:
1) As always, the schedule for the 435.150 transmitter is subject to change so that command stations can download telemetry files for analysis. 2) "early UTC" and the mode change dates below translate into schedule changes occurring over the eastern coast of the US on Sunday evenings. 3) the schedule is subject to change based on the real power budget we experience.
