Yes, I am very happy about the worldwide support and efforts. This is ham spirit!

The next step will be to bring COMPASS back into NORMAL mode. Only then we can request housekeeping data and maybe take a picture of the earth.

Thank you again to all. 73, MikeDK3WN ----- original Nachricht --------
