I'm afraid that last post wasn't a test. That was the last post we received from SilverSat. The satellite re-entered the atmosphere at some point last night. Thank you to everyone who has participated in our mission!

THIS IS A TEST.

We've tweeted a total of 11 pictures over the course of this mission!

@Mike_Coletta Yup that's us. That looks like the SSDV downlink.

@mallery_g75191 Thanks for tracking us!

[Silver-Sat @SilverSatorg]

SilverSat has now fallen below 350 km perigee, so we have stopped taking new pictures. We will continue to tweet and transmit SSDV using the onboard images.

Here is what our SSDV coverage looks like for the next week. Each colored line is a 6 minute SSDV downlink. Times will be posted at https://t.co/GkijNB6AfS. If you receive us, please let us know at https://t.co/AsPAYNVJap !

Our SSDV transmission schedule is now available online at 'https://t.co/ZbZGS7cWTr'

[Silver-Sat @SilverSatorg]

This was a 38 degree pass. This is the lowest pass we've taken thus far for a successful picture tweet.
