Status: No uplinks currently
This from Alberto E. Zagni - I2KBD on November 26,2003:
I can confirm that IO-26 is still in Safe Mode (MBL telemetry).
We have some problems to uplink the full IHT software, probably
due to an unfavourable attitude of the spacecraft.
Until the IHT (high level code) is reloaded, NO digipeat will
be possible, since it is part of the IHT multitasking code.
All the best
Alberto E. Zagni - I2KBD
