UWE-3 CubeSat Update

UWE-3 was launched with FUNcube-1 on November 21, 2013, the team say they
will now be temporarily ending operations.

Today, more than one year after launch, there will be a temporary end of
operations caused by the end of funding.

However, UWE-3 is in a very good health condition with fully charged
batteries and operations may be continued depending on future research
plans. Â*

Without any reception from ground, UWE-3 will carry out a warm reset every
four days and switch regularly between the redundant on-board processors
and radios. Therefore, UWE-3 will switch back to its nominal frequency of
437.385 MHz.

Nevertheless we appreciate the extensive support we received from the HAM
amateurs in the past and hope that also in the future the status of UWE-3
will be monitored with your support, like you did so many times in the past
year. Thank you so much for the very helpful cooperation in this respect!

Yours sincerely,

UWE-3 Team
