My recent observations:
The satellite is still experiencing abrupt termination of telemetry transmission. During ascending passes telemetry is transmitted once satellite comes out of eclipse. Initial signal sometimes rough and 500Hz-1Khz above nominal frequency. Rapid warming will bring signal frequency down to +450 Hz. Sometimes satellite telemetry starts repeatedly after 30 to 40 packets, other times it runs for 100 to 300 packets before abruptly stopping.
Will wait for the Delfi-C3 team to report on their attempts on working this one out.
However, the satellite is working and active.
