Jielong-3 - CAMSAT CAS-5A - 2022-12-09 06:35 UTC

The satellite went silent after sending dtmf *A35# tones… It will probably restart after a few hours as before

… oops :rofl:

It already happened once after sending a request for a photo catalog :slight_smile:

What is your setup for sending the tones, including tone lengths etc?

IC910H 10W, 6 El quad ant.

Interesting, both @K4KDR and I couldn’t get it to work in Audacity; the instant we switched to the native radio dialing tones, it worked!

I have added a few more goodies - refresh again!

Nice telemetry dashboard !
Would you be able to post the photo directory in the dashboard ?
I’ll try to activate directory next time when the satellite comes on.
I hope it will not turn off again :wink:

I think we already have, at least a part of it, the photo directory in DB. And yeah, this is possible to display…

Do you wanna try? :grin:

CAS-5A alive :slight_smile: I sent the task of photo 35 and there is an answer.

After transmitting the photo, I sent the same task again and the satellite went silent again. Ehhh…

OK.
I advise you to bypass the photo catalog task and photo #35 :wink:

Unfortunately, I can confirm that CAS-5A is back to the constant carrier mode w/ no data packets transmitted as of the 1935utc pass over the U.S. today.

It’s cool how you can see antenna radiation nulls/obstacles in the way of the satellite by the strength of the carrier!

I thought it might be useful or fun to provide an ‘index’ to the images that people are decoding from CAS-5A. Details:
