insert_name Posted Friday at 11:00 PM Share Posted Friday at 11:00 PM Looks like two of the ridealongs are having comms troubles. Too bad, I was hoping to see new asteroid pics from Odin. https://spacenews.com/lunar-trailblazer-odin-spacecraft-suffering-problems-after-im-2-launch/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad, I was hoping to see new asteroid pics from Odin. https://spacenews.com/lunar-trailblazer-odin-spacecraft-suffering-problems-after-im-2-launch/ Same wrt Odin. It could still happen. They are getting a carrier and that means many good things: has power, has radio. And if they analyze the carrier from multiple ground stations over time they can verify if craft is tumbling via cyclical signal level of carrier. Given they certainly tested all comm systems on the probe and the radio link via a short distance test setup on the ground prior to integration it could very well be an issue with their worldwide ground systems which would not likely have been a part of those systems tests if the sites are worldwide. I wonder if they are taking Doppler shift into account, lol, j/k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
