ARLA/CLUSTER: Afinal parece que o ARISSat-1 não tinha "pilhas" !!!

[Pedro Ribeiro]

Pela explicação dada, lendo entrelinhas ... o dia do Yuri Gagarin e a 
suposta activação do ARISSSat-1 foi fiasco pior que os Balões, leva-me 
mesmo a crer, que algumas informações que foram desacreditadas na altura 
estavam certas, apesar de não o assumirem à letra, o satélite nunca deve 
ter chegado a ser ligado, as celebres manobras dos russos ...

Parece que a bateria que era para ser usada na ativação comemorativa 
estava descarregada o que me dá a entender que não chegou mesmo a ser 
ligado o SAT, bem podiam era ter-nos avisado para não fazermos de parvos 
à escuta do nada ...

Pelo historial, este satélite ainda nos dará muitas más noticias, parece 
um projeto amaldiçoado ...
73!


  ARISSat-1 update

An update on the Amateur Radio satellite *ARISSat-1* has been posted on 
the AMSAT-BB.

We had a telecon with the ARISSat team in Russia. Here is the situation 
as described by them.

The Russian suit battery that was intended to be used on ARISSat was 
used during testing both on the ground and onboard ISS when it first 
arrived. When it was tested prior to the planned April 12 operation, it 
was discovered that the battery was low on charge.

The suit battery's are specified for only five cycles of charge. It was 
decided to not recharge the battery at this time in order to keep the 
number of cycles as low as possible and thus saving the battery for the 
actual mission.
That deployment is currently scheduled for July 26.

We are still trying to get more information on the storage status and 
the battery health from the Russian team. We will keep you informed as 
we prepare for the eventual deployment of ARISSat.
