AO-51 off-the-air

Sometime on Sunday, 26 June 2005, there was a software reset on AO-51.

Getting a memory download of each program that was running on the satellite at the time has been completed. The Software Group will study this data to debug the programs. This will take a number of days to accomplish. We are working on this as fast as possible to get Echo back
up and running.

Update 2 July from the AO-51 Web Site:

The current plan is to begin the software reloading Saturday evening. When completed the satellite will be placed in the normal V/U FM repeater and 9k6 digital mode.

FM Repeater, V/U
Uplink: 145.920 mhz FM, 67 hz PL Tone
Downlink 435.300 mhz FM
9k6 Digital, V/U, PBP BBS (Pacsat Broadcast Protocol BBS)
Uplink: 145.860 mhz FM, 9k6 PBP Digital
Downlink: 435.150 mhz FM, 9k6 PBP Digital
