Hello,

We are trying to figure out what is going on with Castor. If anyone
has any data just before Feb 6, please pass it along. This will help
us close in on the time Castor stopped. It may be possible, a
radiation event occurred. We can at least try correlate any space
weather events and get a possible idea of the satellite position.

The last time Castor stopped, it occurred around the time of a solar
event and castor did pass through the Atlantic Anomaly.

Howdy,

I think Mike has it nailed pretty close. By January 31st, I had written:

Hello Ivan (et al.),

The implication, however scientific (or not), is that now we
might know with a greater degree of certainty (than the last time)
that it will be back.

Are there any current longevity projections (updated) for
Castor? - HI HI

Thanks, and fingers crossed.

By the looks of the telemetry, Castor did reset. The time stamp is
reset. The data shows it was restarted 2.5 days ago.

I did hear Castor over VK with the pass commencing at 0057utc 20 Feb 2010.
It was extremely weak, but the waterfall on MixW confirmed my heard signal
on 3 occasions during the TCA period of the pass.
