Contact lost with Aussie satellite
‘A scientist thinks Australia’s only non-commercial satellite may have run out of battery power.
The 58-kilogram FedSat has been operating since 2002.
It was only supposed to last for three years.
The University of South Australia has been responsible for its day-to-day operation and says it has lost contact with the public satellite.
Scientist Andrew Parfitt says it could orbit Earth for another century before burning up.’
