Opal Update -- March 29, 2000
-
Opal is currently in nominal operations mode. All systems
are functional and performing as expected. Greg and I are
working to archive data downloaded as well as analyze the
system.
-
Opal's spin rate has decreased by a factor of two since the
last picosatellite launch. It appears temperatures are
increasing due to this lower spin rate. Also irregularities
in the spin can be seen.
-
Recent data has been published to web server. We've written
several scripts that will speed up publishing of this data.
Currently we have to move files from several computers to the
server and its a pain (and we're lazy).
-
Opal has been operational for over 2 months!
