Hi Mineo:
Tracking FO-29 and the sun with my MAC indicates that FO-29 is in sunlight for 100 percent
of it's orbit. Recent telemetry confirms this since the battery current is constant at
a low trickle charge of -40 mA. Battery voltage is constant at 17.35 Volts or 1.557 Volts
per cell, which is maxed out at full charge.
All temperatures are higher than usual. For example, the battery temp is 30.57 degrees C.
The solar arrays are producing normal currents of 1116 mA on average.
Hope everything is OK at your QTH.
Frank
