To add some info from Dale's message on AO-40, this is from the amsat-dl
site:
AO-40 TELEMETRY TRANSMISSIONS STOPPED, DEVELOPMENT TEAM INVESTIGATING
December 13, at 1123
utc telemetry transmissions from AO-40
stopped while work on
the 400 N propulsion system was in
progress. An
investigation by the AO-40 development team has
begun. They are now
waiting for certain on-board software
events to occur on
Saturday afternoon, December 16. These are
programmed to start a
spacecraft emergency routine called
"command-assist" which
attempts to re-establish communications.
This offers the best
chance of recovering evidence of the incident
which made the
telemetry transmissions stop. When more
information becomes
available, we will pass it along.
