Still No More Signals From Fireball

We are not receiving any more signals from Fireball. We know that he was moving south as we got some weak Doppler signals earlier. We are hoping to pick up more signals as he gets into the sunnier areas and his battery re-charges, although we are aware that it may be totally non-functional by now.

If we get more signals, great. If not, we hope to be returning to Chile in March and will try our best to re-trap him and remove his transmitter. We are planning to attempt the same process with Seven. If we are successful, we will return these units to the manufacturer, Microwave Telemetry, and see if they can determine why these transmitters are failing so early, i.e less than a year.
