ARISSat-1 continues to reset each eclipse

Due to a failing battery the ARISSat-1 satellite continues to reset during each eclipse period.

The ARISSat-1 battery performed as expected during the first week of operation. Lower voltages during eclipse began to show up in the telemetry on 10 Aug 2011. The voltages during eclipse have continued to decline causing the satellite to reset and go into Emergency power mode on 12 Aug

MET of some minutes while the satellite was still in a long period of sunlight - satellite must have reset during sunlight?

Recorded in Bratislava, Slovakia JN88ND on 28.8.11
