Re: Greencube status?
No schedule as far as I know. It was off for a couple of days around the 13th of May but it was 'reset'? and back to normal by the 15th. It's a little unclear who can uplink commands to GreenCube / IO-117. The owners are S5Labs, but their primary mission was concluded last fall.AMSAT Italy are also listed as partners, but I'm not sure how far that involvement goes. I wondered if anyone on the list is decoding telemetry. The battery voltage is normally 8.2V. A quick look at the tlm may reveal if there is an issue, or if the satellite has been commanded to telemetry only.

I got on Greencube for the first time on Wednesday and made a bunch of contacts. On Friday Greencube was only sending telemetry and is still in telemetry only mode. Is it normal for the digipeater to be off for several days at a time? Is there a schedule? 73,-David, N9KT
Nice to see Greencube / IO-117 back to digipeating from 06.00 this morning.
The satellite was over Europe at the time so it looks like it was a direct command from Italy rather than an on-board scheduler 73 David
