Hi Phil,
The reality is, even with no battery heater on FUNcube-1 we seem to have an
acceptable battery temperature of between 0 and +5C. The temp sensor is, of
course, actually external to the battery itself.
Our orbit is sun synchronous so we suffer eclipses for approx 33% of the
orbit
Hi All,
We are still not 100% certain but we tend to agree with Nico - UKube-1 is
