Hello Jan,

Yes, the battery is dead. There are no transmissions when the satellite is in eclipse. Also, after ARISSat-1 re-enters sunlight, there is a 15 minute delay from a built in timer before transmissions begin.

Here in the US, we don't currently have any useable windows! It's either in eclipse, or too close to it for the transmitter to come on overhead.

The orbit will precess in the next couple of weeks and we'll again have some useable time.

73,

Are there stations in Europe that receive ARISSat-1 telemetry or other data? I tryed last week and yesterday evening but nothing was received.

Are the batteries completly drained and therefor no activity when the Sat is in the dark :-)
