Masat-1

Orbits with eclipse

Everything is all right on-board Masat-1. All subsystems operate normally. The temperature of the battery is between 5 °C and 10 °C, despite the satellite being in eclipse during more than 33% of the orbit. This elevated temperature is due to the battery heating system, which turns on whenever the battery temperature dips below 5 °C. During the past weeks the available orbits in Hungary shifted from the afternoons to the early mornings. Despite some orbits coming as early as 2 AM, we still track each pass of the satellite.
