Hello everybody:
This is David EA4SG.
Just a moment ago at 16:54 UTC while the Arissat-1 was over the vertical of Madrid, I was listening to the SAT and it stopped/interrumped suddenly its transmissions while it was still in a theorical "sunny or iluminated area". Not sure if it was the final re-entry but It could be. So I decided to leave this info here. The last sent voice message sent was the italian one and at the end of the secret word, it stopped.
A moment before, I was able to record around 40 seconds of CW telemetry in 145.919 Khz but very poor signal/noise rate.

Hola David
The reason for that was the sat in LOW POWER mode. It was ON again after 2 minutes, but already after our horizon (LOS). Hopefully we can listen again at 1820z.

Hi all
I heard ARISSAT-1 briefly at 1824 and 1826z, but I was unable to decode the BPSK TLM (only a single Kusrk frame).

Hi all
No signs from ARISSAT-1 at 1011z. It must be SK by now... Thanks for the great memories! Congratulations to all team for this absolute sucess.

Good telemetry during the 1933Z pass today. No major changes in temperature noted. Using today's keps, height is 184.2 km, so it can't stay up much longer. Max elevation was 39 degrees and had to manually tune to keep the audio in the telemetry decoder.
