The communication with the subsatellite YES, including GPS, has also been established. The young engineers are extremely pleased that after many months of intensive work they are receiving such rewarding results. The team will continue missions operation for approximately five days, depending on the lifetime of the on-board batteries. The first results will be presented, following validation by ESA, on the Teamsat web page. ANS thanks Peter Guelzow DB2OS for relaying this information.
Comments regarding a better time or day are welcome.
