Congratulations Mike! Your efforts at rounding up the troops looks to have paid off....

Truly a worldwide ham radio effort!

Hi all,

COMPASS is back in powersafe mode :-). You should hear the beacon now every 3 minutes.

08.09.2008 17:56UTC 40000000000000102949c01401 --------------------------------------------------- Solar Cell Voltage 1.25 V Solar Panel 6 Cur 0.00 mA Solar Panel 2 Cur 0.00 mA Solar Panel 3 Cur 0.00 mA Solar Panel 4 Cur 0.00 mA Solar Panel 5 Cur 0.00 mA EPS Reset Counter 0 Power Level Low Battery Capacity Heater Active Battery Heater OFF Power Safe Counter 41 Emergency Mode Counter 73 Battery Voltage 3.76 V Battery Current 125.49 mA Battery Temperature 1 °C

Now it’s very important to collect telemetry. If the voltage climb over 4 olt we can change to NORMAL mode.

******************************************************** PLEASE do NOT send any commands to COMPASS until further notice ********************************************************

If you send any commands you overwrite the current settings and COMPASS may all back into emergency mode. I will keep you informed about the next steps.

For your inf ormation here are recent reports from today. Thank you very much or your efforts.
