All,
Those of you who were on the air on Sunday, August 24 are aware that the
packet system was re-activated by Yuri around 12:00 UTC. Shortly thereafter,
the ARISS team received reports from the general ham community that the
packet system was operational. Over the next 9 hours, many hams around the
world sent unproto digi signals through the packet system. Later that day,
the packet system abruptly stopped operating at around 21:22 UTC while
traveling over the Western part of the U.S.
The ARISS team has had several discussions on next steps. Complicating the
debug efforts is the fact that the Progress 11P undocking and Progress 12P
docking will be occurring over the next few days. So the crew will be quite
busy.
Our plan is to have the crew (Yuri) report out on the status of what he sees
with the packet module (switches on, LEDs properly lit and blinking, radio
on). We will ask him to recycle the power. This should bring the packet
system back up. If the system abruptly shuts down after a few hours (as we
expect) we will then ask the crew to attach a computer to the packet module,
download the current parameters to the ground and reset the module.
As we get closer to performing these procedures, we will alert you of the
fact.
73,
Frank Bauer, KA3HDO
