Hi Francis,
That is one thing we are looking into, handily I am well acquainted with the ExseedSat team lead and since we were in the deployer next to each other and performing the integration together we have discussed the possibility that we got to be too close friends somehow and are still that way or perhaps remained too close even to the point of antenna deploy and perhaps interfered with each other's deploy. TLE indicated separation is perhaps the only way to guesstimate that though. If it gives us something to maybe model or relate to past missions, we might be able to infer that a possible cause was that we may have been close for a while up to and including our antenna deploy times and something may have happened as a result of that. It would at least provide one possible path to follow in looking for causes and maybe (and I mean MAYBE) a solution. Keep on watching for clues, thanks!

First off, I do not want to "2nd guess" the Engineering team.
JUst read the "post" that AO-95 was still very close to another "object".
I just was wondering, if AO-95 is TOO close to another "object", maybe "object" is "blocking" the RX antenna, or did RX antenna get "knocked" off ?
Opinions ? Everybody has them. HiHi
