Hi folks,
Last week Thursday flash memory of a CAN controller on Sumbandila was corrupted by a probable radiation event. It does not affect satellite health but prevents activation of the amateur radio repeater.
Similar problems occurred in October 2009 and December 2010 and were corrected.
The fix will take many days. Activation of the repeater for Field Day in the USA remains a priority but is unlikely at this stage.
