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 ...<br>
<br>
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 ...<br>
<br>
Pelo historial, este satélite ainda nos dará muitas más noticias,
parece um projeto amaldiçoado ...<br>

<h1>ARISSat-1 update</h1>
<p>An update on the Amateur Radio satellite <strong>ARISSat-1</strong>
has been posted on the AMSAT-BB.</p>
<p>We had a telecon with the ARISSat team in Russia. Here is the
situation as described by them.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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. <br>
That deployment is currently scheduled for July 26.</p>
<p>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.</p>
