[QUOTE="izefisherman, post: 303051, member: 233523"] And suddenly, as we have passed the autumn equinox those lost 2% are back... Cold dry weather is not the factor. Do they (SES-Astra) fiddle with the attitude of the satellite at equinoxes? The sun changes side of the equator (and the clarke belt) at the equinoxes. Optimizing solar panel power output? Astra 2D is a spin-stabilized can-shaped bird with the solar panel wrapped around it's hull so the solar panels can not be tilted around like on a three-axis gyro stabilized satellite with "wings".
