The FUNcube team discussed the operations of the satellite during their weekly meeting, last Sunday, March 28
It will start to enter eclipses on 8th April and as a result they expect to see the internal temperatures drop.
They are concerned about the 'double vision' as they call it when the transmitter starts up and causes two images in the downlink passband. Therefore there will be a further delay until they are satisfied that the temperature has dropped to a safe level for a full reboot.
I will keep you updated with more details as they become available.
