Interesting. You can look at the reset times on the publicly available FoxTelem data and backtrack the orbit to see that a large number of our resets are also over the SAA.

Hello Burns.
That's an interesting statistic. With AO-73 etc we've come to expect a reset/crash around once every 6-9 months. Until recently we've not lost a processor. However looking at reports of JO-97, there is some unexplained behaviour which could be a processor fault. - That would explain the lack of telemetry. The telemetry stopped mid pass over Brazil, so maybe South Atlantic anomaly related.....or maybe not?

Bob, you obviously don't expect many resets, unlike the AMSAT Fox satellites which we expect to reset every few days. Do you have any rad-tolerant hardware or did you do anything else to reduce resets to the point where they are unexpected?

I notice the S#0056mm orbit counter is at 56. The "mm" are minutes into the present orbit. And at 14 orbits per day that means the system reset 4 days ago on the 18th.
No big deal, but Come to think abouit it, I have not seen orbit numbers get very high.and never past S#01XXmm I dont think. Its been 26 days and it should have gotten up to 360 or so by now (though we did send a few reset commands ourselves early on..
