AMSAT News Service Bulletin 005.04 From AMSAT HQ
SILVER SPRING, MD. JANUARY 5, 2002
To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-005.04
During the week of Christmas the RUDAK team has concentrated on getting
software loaded after the long period of quite time when there was
inadequate power to run RUDAK and the experiments.
A task to record all activity on the CAN bus was loaded and run on the B
processor while the CAN server and CEDEX task were run on the A. The CAN
logging task files and the CEDEX task files were downloaded and are being
analyzed to diagnose the problem that has prevented collection and logging
of CEDEX data since December, 2001.
During the Christmas eve and day windows it was determined both RUDAK
processors had crashed back to the boot loader and reloading was begun. An
initial attempt to reload A failed and the short window prevented further
diagnosis.
Some testing on the new windows based command software was accomplished and
a few changes have been made. This is an important activity because it
forms the basis for telemetry and command software for future AMSAT-NA
satellites including ECHO and Eagle. Again, however, the short RUDAK
window prevented complete testing.
Further load and diagnosis activities will be undertaken during the next
available window.
