Results | 5 days passed and we resided ourselves to the fact that maybe we couldn’t reach Binar. Then… 2 weeks later we heard back from the satellite after successfully enabling a secondary beacon!! So now what? Where do we go from here? We take what we learn and improve it for the next mission. |
Failure cause | Some antennas not deployed? |
