Re: HADES-D (SO-121) near to decay
I am yet to hear the satellite with my Moxon Yagi, though I have been able to have a QSO on UVSQSat. Wonder whether the higher power passes will help. How much is the current power output?

Dear all,
HADES-D (SO-121) is decaying fast so it will only last a few days. Current height is near 355 km.
These days we are manually turning on the internal amplifier, so we expect that some passes could be in high power, depending on the zone. This has to be done each day because the on board computer is resetting this configuration each 24 hours.

Hi Jon,
Currently the satellite is transmitting with a power of 40mW. If we manage to turn the amplifier on, power could be 200mW or a bit more.
