PCSat2 telemetry web site testing

Dave G4DPZ of AMSAT-UK requests help in testing the website that will handle the telemetry from the forthcoming Amateur Satellite PCSat2.


With the imminent launch of STS114 carrying PCSat2 to the ISS, I should appreciate a little help in testing the PCSat2 telemetry web site: http://www.pcsat2.info/

It is currently displaying channel telemetry generated by a simulator and refreshes every 10 seconds, which would be the speed when it is under command conditions.

If you get a chance, please go to the RealTime page and let it run for a minute or so. I'm interested if you get any long delays (more than 20 seconds) or any lock-ups. If you do get any, please let me know the time and what the raw data value was (111,111,111 etc)

In any case, please let me know if you've tried it and what you think.

Over the next few days more data will be added so please visit it every so often. If you've got any ideas about what extras you'd like let me know.

Currently planned:

Graphical Channel History
WOD feed (csv file probably)
League table of telemetry providers
RealTime Eclipse status

Many thanks
