Here is the RAFT tlm. I heard some packet signals but I only decoded one packet.
RAFT>BEACON,SGATE [21-Dec-06 14:49:40] <UI>: T#529,083,002,036,035,071,10000000,00
This is GOOD NEWS!
It shows that RAFT is now charged up enough to make it through eclipse. Notice that the telemetry serial number is up to #529 which means it has now been running for 529 minutes since it last booted up. This is good news, because on the first few orbits, it was going to low-power shutdown towards the end of eclipse.
