UO-11 OSCAR-11
Catalog number: 14781
Launched: March 1, 1984
Status: Semi-operational?
Telemetry Downlink: 145.826 MHz. FM (1200-baud AFSK).
approx. 10 days ON, 10 days OFF
Mode-S Beacon: 2401.500 MHz. ... OFF
UHFBeacon: 435.025 MHz. ... OFF
This from Clive, G3CWV:
OSCAR-11's VHF beacon (145.826 Mhz) switched ON as expected 28 April, and was
last heard on 30 April 16:04 UTC. Nothing heard on 02 May, and each day since
then.
Solar eclipses started 27 April, reaching an average 9.7% of orbit time by 02
May. I had been expecting problems during the eclipse season, but not quite
so soon!
I'll be listening for OSCAR-11 from time to time. I would be very interested
in having reports of reception.
