[amsat-bb] ISS

Nothing heard on the last pass over EL96, that being the 17:53 utc pass!

As a matter of interest, does anyone know whether the ARISS equipment runs only on battery power or does it have the option to feed directly from the station's power?

(I know the ISS itself runs on solar generated battery power, but is the radio equipment powered only by the little Energiser bunny or can it have some solar juice?)

Thanks
