It has been more than 12 hours since we have seen activity from falconsat-3
It was very weak that last pass
Is the bird dying ?

Seems fine and transmits as usual. Check the latest observations in SatNOGS https://network.satnogs.org/observations/?future=1&good=1&bad=1&...

Andrew,
I worked a couple of passes yesterday, using a TH-D72 HT and Elk log periodic antenna. After not working this satellite in a couple of weeks, its performance seemed to be just as good as it was previously. I was able to work 2 stations on each of the two passes I tried, and was able to get my HT's packets retransmitted when FalconSat-3 was 3 or 4 degrees above the horizon - something I can't do at home, but was easy to do in the desert 3 hours away from home, and 5 minutes from the Mexican border in southern Arizona.
73!
