It looks like AO-51's computer crashed somewhere between 0700 and 0800 UTC last night. I managed to start the reload process on a 7 degree pass here this morning, and the 435.150 transmitter should be on at close to 1 watt with 9k6 telemetry. I'd appreciate any telemetry reports between now and this afternoon's passes, especially battery voltage and temperature. This reload may take a little longer than the last few due to command station availability.
