ANDE was doing well on the last pass at about 2000z on the 21st.
I have to leave now for Grandma's and so cannot command high telemetry rates. This means ANDE will not be heard over the east coast unless she wakes up on her own and she hears packets. Then she will only beacon telemetry once a minute.
So, I am taking a risk here and authorizing unattended beacons at a 30 second rate. This should keep the channel busy enough to wake ANDE up. Once she wakes, you can back off to let others in.
The original primary lithium cells are doing just fine. No drop in voltage apparent since launch. In fact, voltage appears up these last few days due to higher temps.
Good luck. My IGATE is left on and my beam is pointed WNW from Maryland.
