Default SSETI Express not charging...

The student/ESA satellite SSETI Express was put in safe mode after it
showed drop in battery voltage; it seems the solar panels were not
charging the batteries.

The New Scientist article is at

The launcher involved was quire busy with 9 satellites, inclduing the
Iranian one, but with Mozhayets-5 appearently not seperating, and SSETI
Express experiencing challenges, the success is definitely mixed.
