Dear Mineo,

Attached you can see a graph with the sun angle (deg) and illumination
(percent) for the next 60 days.

You can see that the sun angle is changing 2-3 deg per day. The signmeans
that the sun is shining from the left or from the right side of theaxis.

0 deg means the best angle -> the light hits with 90 deg on the solarcells.

FO-29 is always sending '72' for her sun angle. I am not sure if we can
trust this value.

If you need actually CW telemetry data ? please take a look on mySatBlog...

73, Mike

Hi John, Mineo

I read a lot about the sun angle calculation and found some information on
the Japanese JAS-2 website. 

@ John: here is the English translation link

http://translate.google.de/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.jarl.or.jp%2FJapanese%2F3_Fuji%2F&sl=ja&tl=en&hl=de&ie=UTF-8> &sl=ja&tl=en&hl=de&ie=UTF-8

FO-29 is calculating the sun angle to the Z-axis. My calculations based on
the angle between sun and the X-Axis !

BUT - Compass is sending always the channel 3B value &H24 -> that means
0100100 and correspond with 82.5 deg

You have to subtract 10 deg from the sent value because the Sun Sensor is
inclined with 10 deg

So we have an "real" sun angle of 72.5 deg. Compared with old telemetry
values this angle is constant since 2007!

Yesterday I wrote you that my calculations are showing a change of this
value of 1-2 deg /day. The actually value for today is -48 deg.

If we subtract 90 deg - 48 deg we get 42 deg. This is the angle I would
expect from FO-29.

It's all pretty strange.  I think we come to a dead end..
Have a nice weekend !
best 73,
Mike

Hi Mike,

Thanks for a most interesting piece of analysis.
did you copy it to Mineo?  He may know if there is a problem with FO-29's
telemetry value for sun angle.

Hello Mike, John

Dear Mineo,

another strange issue:

If you read the decoding of the CW telemetry from the following Japanese
side :

http://www.jarl.or.jp/Japanese/3_Fuji/teleme/tlm.htm

You will find an value for channel 3B -> 42. This is 0100 0010 and according
the table we get an sun angle of 150.5 deg.

If you see the decoded value from this site - they get an sun angle of 40.5 deg.

Why ???
Maybe you can understand this.

Best 73 and domo arigato,
Mike

The value 40.5 is wrong, the value 140.5 is right,
so the value in the web site is wrong.

Sun Angle is an angle from the X-axises of the body coordinate of
the satellites.
Because a sensor is set at the angle that inclined 10 degrees, 
it is necessary to subtract 10 degrees from the value in the web site.

 42 -> 0100 0010 -> 150.5 in the table -> 150.5-10=140.5 deg (is right)

Please see,
http://www.ne.jp/asahi/hamradio/je9pel/fo29cwfe.htm

My fo29cwte.exe can calculate the valid Sun Angle.
