AO-40 Recovery Efforts Continue
The AO-40 command team has established a routine of trying to cycle the main battery off (aux. battery on) and then the S2 Tx ON every orbit, using simple machine codes. Following this, the sequence to disconnect all transmitters is sent, to protect them from low voltage. If we have approximately 10 volts on the main buss, then these commands should be making it through, but the S2 transmitter was not designed to run below 20 volts and is not coming on.
