Dear Alan, Please inform all users of GO-32. Ronni who is the head of the ground control station of GO-32 making recovering after a severe medical event. So all of the users will have to wait and wish him a fast recovery.

Nothing heard on the last pass over EL96, that being the 17:53 utc pass!
As a matter of interest, does anyone know whether the ARISS equipment runs only on battery power or does it have the option to feed directly from the station's power?
(I know the ISS itself runs on solar generated battery power, but is the radio equipment powered only by the little Energiser bunny or can it have some solar juice?)
Thanks

Many thanks to Patrick (WD9EWK) and David (G8OQW) for the answer to that!

So what is the answer to the question:
...does anyone know whether the ARISS equipment runs only on battery power or does it have the option to feed directly from the station's power?
It seems to have not gone to the list.

Oops sorry - this is what I received from Patrick (WD9EWK), viz.,
"The ISS gear runs on the station's power, except for the VC-H1 SSTV camera thingie. For now, the VC-H1 runs on AA batteries. The attached PDF explains the setup, including the power supply for the ham gear."
