Don't I recall correctly that the Kursk experiment requires an entire orbit of data? I think I heard this in t context of low-power operation had to keep Kursk running.
But in any case, now that the battery is history and we only get power for the non-eclipse part of each orbit, I'd think that would mean that Kursk is not doing much. I don't know what the IHU should do with the Kursk tlm in that case, but 0 is not unreasonable.

Mike,
Had it just come out of eclipse? I have seen no Kursk frames when it just came on just after eclipse...I think the Kursk Experiment isn't running quite yet, so no frames to xmit.
So yes, I saw this yesterday :)
Also, to confirm W5RKN---I have seem some "all 0" frames too...you can hear hear it on the audio actually :)

Hi all, I had a 1 deg pass this morning and could grab 18 telemetry frames (!).
Interesting was that I received no one KURSK frame.
Can someone confirm this?
