Hi Folks,
Just to let you know that at 09:29 UTC today I have switched AO-73's mode to be continuous transponder/low power beacon. The plan is to leave it in this mode for one or two complete orbits.
Anyone decoding the tlm, please keep a watch on the Battery Temp - its important that it stays above -5 degs.
Please feel free to use the transponder while we are in this mode.
