FUNcube-1 / AO-73 glitch + commanded reboot
Hi All,
We have had an anomaly on FUNcube-1 that required us to reboot the satellites MCU (Microcontroller).
After a bus freeze, the databus watchdog did kick in as expected and rebooted the satellite. However, we did need to command the satellite back on to automatic mode.
When we did so on the 20:00 UTC pass, it came back up in the correct mode.
We envisage to switch back to autonomous mode either tonight or tomorrow morning local time.
FUNcube is still happy and healthy. This is the 4th reboot since launch, of which one was intentional. Thanks for your reports and concerns.
On behalf of the whole team best 73s,
Wouter Weggelaar PA3WEG FUNcube team
Hi All,
I can also confirm FUNcube was switched back to autonomous mode around 21:38 UTC.
73s,

I heard Paulo's QSO with WA5KBH at my AOS and called CQ for the next three minutes until the satellite entered the sunlight. The satellite sounded perfectly normal.
And now we are beyond the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, so available transponder time on weekday evening passes will start to increase.
