Hello folks,

UMaine has asked for some more picture testing so MO-122/MESAT1 is in SAFE mode and configured for the taking and transmitting of pictures. Testing will continue for a couple to several days. Thanks in advance to telemetry stations that share the footprint with me in FM05p and collect data when downlinked!

While in SAFE mode, a telemetry beacon is transmitted about every 2min, 20secs. When transmitting blocks of the photo, the transmitter sends continuously for about 5 mins then goes off. The transponder is OFF while this round of testing continues.
