Dear Friends:
The bird Falconsat-3 is Dead? can't hear telemetry.
Best regards
EA6TC & K6WTC Joan Morante P.O. Box 111 – Son Ferriol 07198 Palma de Mallorca – Balearic Is. SPAIN
According to the Command Stations, after 3+ years the computer needs to be reloaded. That will take a few weeks.

Hi Joan and list,
I suspect that FS-3 has just "crashed" and needs some attention. Usually that involves getting it back to a primitive level of operation and testing, and then reloading all of the spacecraft's software. So, it'll take some time. But I really do think we can recover it. Last reload was over 3.5 years ago! It takes a lot of preparation and sometimes multiple attempts to get all software loaded and running. Keep the hope :). Probably a couple weeks.

Hi Bob,
Falconsat-3 is a Jim White bird, so he’ll have all the details. SCO?

I'm thinking SCO loaded via the Hugh Pettit bootloader. I'll ask Jim.
