Space Strikes Back, IMAGE Returns to Silence…

Just when everyone thought the story of IMAGE was going to have a Hollywood ending she has displayed a knack for dramatic flare.

On 2018-02-25 at 02:19:19.459 UTC IMAGE ended an approximately 48 hour series of off/on sequences of its TT&C beacon and returned to silence.  It’s been over two days now and the beacon has not returned to the air.

The signal sequence in the image above shows the last few minutes of IMAGE’s transmissions.
