Beagle 2 remains silent (Forwarded)
In message , Andrew Yee
writes 12 January 2004 Beagle 2 remains silent The next phase will be to initiate a period of radio silence where no communication attempts will be made with Beagle 2 until the 22 January. Adopting this approach will force Beagle 2 into communication search mode 2 [CSM2] where the probe will automatically transmit a signal throughout the Martian day [power is still conserved during the night]. I've asked this before but assuming Beagle 2 is "alive", does it "know" it's night (using a light sensor, for instance) or is it still running on a clock? -- Rabbit arithmetic - 1 plus 1 equals 10 Remove spam and invalid from address to reply. |

IIRC it determines day from night by the fact that the solar panels receive power from daylight, starting up transmission mode. I assume it's better to speak about "should have determined... if it would have received....". Alas. -- CeeBee "I am not a crook" |
