Hi All Attempted with no success, to work AO27 recently (0620 ish UTC) however working conditions here were not the greatest. I conducted an attempt in co-ordination with VK6MLB. Intending to keep an eye out on the next run of passes tomorrow, hopefully with some more success. Interested to know how others went with their attempts 73ChrisVK6PII / VK6FCBG

It has not yet been recovered. The command team turned the transmitter on to test it out on June 28th, but they still need to upload the secondary bootloader and then the high level code necessary to operate the satellite. The issue in the past has been that the satellite crashes when they try to run high level code. We will see if they've managed to work around that problem (probably radiation damage to a section of the satellite's memory).

By the way, please do not transmit unless you hear the FM repeater functioning. Any interference while the command team is attempting to upload new code will significantly prolong the recovery process.
