We are releasing this complete UI overhaul—including the sunlight gradients, interactive charts, and deep parameter inspection—on December 25th. Stay tuned!🎄

Conversely, "Orbital Winter" happens when the Beta angle is low, causing maximum eclipse time. Satellites must survive long periods in the dark, relying heavily on batteries and internal heaters to keep from freezing.🥶🔋

The Consequences: Heat 🔥"Orbital Summer" isn't just about light; it's about heat. Without the shadow of an eclipse to cool down, the satellite heats up
Check the telemetry: Temp steady at ~24°C+ and rising. Batteries are fully charged. Solar panels are generating non-stop power

The Numbers Behind the Magic Why is this happening? 🔢
Look at the Orbital Parameters:

• Inclination: 97.87º Period: 93.56 min

This high inclination combined with the Earth's current position creates a high "Beta Angle," keeping the satellite entirely out of Earth's shadow.

The Visual Proof First, look at our new tracking map. The orbit path now features a sunlight gradient.

🟡 Yellow = Full Sunlight 🔵 Blue = Eclipse/Shadow

Notice Norby's path is solid yellow? It is currently bathing in constant sunlight. No eclipse. 24/7 power.

Think satellites are immune to seasons? Think again! 🛰️ ☀️ ❄️
They experience "Orbital Summer" and "Orbital Winter" with extreme effects. 🥵🥶
What does this mean for their batteries and temperature? We'll show you, with REAL data from the upcoming #TinyGS web XMAS update! 👇

🚀 Simplified Onboarding: Setting up your TinyGS station is about to get much easier! Our new onboarding process will let you connect your station without manually entering WiFi/MQTT credentials or your location.

🌐 Web Migration to Vue 3: Our web interface is getting a major upgrade! We’re transitioning from Vue 2 to Vue 3 for a faster, more modern, and responsive experience for all users.

⚠️ Regain account access: We know some users have lost access to Telegram. You can now generate a login link directly from the local console on one of your TinyGS stations to quickly and securely recover control of your account.

🔐 New User & Login System: We're moving away from Telegram-based only authentication! Now, you can manage your account and log in directly on our website. Please register your email in your profile to keep seamless access.

🚀 Big news from the TinyGS community! We’re rolling out major upgrades to make our open-source network stronger and easier to use. From better user onboarding to exciting new features, we’ve got a lot to share. Follow this thread for the details! 👇
