All the character definitions for the SilverSat beacon is at Beacon Operations · silver-sat/systems Wiki · GitHub
In general, the beacon is showing:
- the battery is at full charge and staying there
- there was an issue during the antenna deployment (I suspect this has cleared, given the strength of the beacon signals, but I’d like to try to quantify this. Once set, the fault flag won’t clear unless there’s a reset
- the payload board self-check passed during boot-up
- the last character is interesting: this shows the noise level that the radio is currently receiving, and we’re occasionally seeing high levels, possibly someone else’s uplink
I recommend we continue SilverSat-specific discussion over on Observation 12858633: SilverSat (98538) - #6 by ve6kdx. I’ll continue to track both discussions.
