Hi All,<\/p>\n
FUNcube-1 has shut down its transmitter around 2018 UTC yesterday.
\nWe have reasons to believe this may have been due to the large geomagnetic storm hitting earth at the moment.<\/p>\n
The team is still investigating the situation, but we have concluded from earlier telemetry analysis that it was safe to switch back to nominal operations.
\nDuring the 09:30 UTC pass over The Netherlands, I have commanded it back to nominal mode with full automatic mode switching.<\/p>\n
At this time, there is no reason to believe this event was dangerous to the spacecraft, all systems were nominal and the battery is nearly full.<\/p>\n
Please enjoy FUNcube-1!<\/p>\n
