From the AO-51 status page:
AMSAT – AO-51 Control Team News
At 1848Z 11 OCT over Europe, the software on AO-51 crashed, shutting down both transmitters. Subsequently the repeater and BBS will be down for several days while the command stations reload. Sorry for any inconvenience.
I’m bummed.
I suspect the world would be better if that percentage were even greater.
Apparently 15% of all web traffic is cat related. There's no reason for Brainwagon be any different.
Thanks Mal! I'm trying to reclaim the time that I was using doom scrolling and writing pointless political diatribes on…
Brainwagons back! I can't help you with a job, not least because I'm on the other side of our little…
Congrats, glad to hear all is well.

any more info about when ao-51 might be operational?
Editor’s note: At Pacificon yesterday (10/20/2007), I heard from the Amsat guys that you might be able to hear the beacon transmitter now, but that it was still down. They didn’t have an ETA.
